Fun fact about me 

I love languages - the most exotic one I speak is Persian!

I love working with children and their families because 
I learn so much from them every single day! Children are fun to interact with at all stages of life. Being able to accompany them and their families through chronic illness, the good and the bad days, is a humbling and gratifying experience.
