“I went into healthcare because I have always enjoyed the opportunity to take care of others and positively impact their lives. As a child, I always admired my pediatrician’s commitment to keeping myself and siblings safe and healthy. Pediatrics quickly became my field of interest as I hoped to one day be able to care for families and children myself,” Janet said.
“Children are incredibly resilient, and I have always admired their bravery even when they are most scared. I enjoy providing care for children because of their energetic and curious nature. They are sure to keep me on my toes and there is never a dull moment in pediatrics!”
