Where did you grow up?
Manila, Philippines
Why did you become a doctor and why did you choose your specialty?
Growing up, we've always had high regard for what doctors do. I chose pediatric endocrine because the mechanism of the conditions make sense to me – most of the time, we are able to explain why a certain hormone is abnormal.
How long have you practiced in the Washington, DC area and what do you like most about it?
Moving from North Carolina and looking forward to practicing in the DC area.
What do you most enjoy doing outside of your clinical practice, when you’re not working?
Spending time with my family/my son; walking, swimming; and traveling.
Do you volunteer? If so, where?
Lector ministry at local church.
Describe your proudest accomplishment as a provider and/or in your personal life:
As I left my practice in NC, so many families expressed deep gratitude for the care I gave them. This made me feel more thankful that I am in the profession that I am.
If you weren’t a doctor, what profession would you most likely be doing and why?
I might be a stay-at-home mom involved in a non-profit organization for children. I have a soft spot for children, especially those who were born in an unstable, unsafe environment.
