4worldlovers: I have wanted to be a pediatrician since the age of seven. I went to UC Berkeley for undergraduate where I received a degree in Molecular and Cell Biology and then attended medical school at St Louis University in Misssouri. While there I realized I also had a strong interest in Internal Medicine and decided to pursue an Internal Medicine/Pediatric Residency. I completed my residency at Maricopa Medical Center/Phoenix Children’s Hospital. I am double board certified in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics. I am a member of the American College of Physicians and a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
