Why did you want to become a kids' doctor instead of a doctor for grown-ups?
I love the elements of playfulness and creativity that you can bring into interactions with children.
What is your favourite dinosaur?
It's a hard choice between tyrannosaurus and velociraptor but a tyrannosaurus is big enough to ride, which would be awesome. I'm assuming it's a friendly tyrannosaurus that would let me ride it... not just eat me.
What do you do when you’re not being a doctor?
In summer I love to go snorkeling and just lie on the beach. I also love to play with my little nephew Theo.
If you could pick any superpower what would it be?
Maybe breathing underwater or telepathy.
