Why voters should choose you

I believe so strongly in the AAP’s mission and participating however I can to support this organization and the children and pediatricians it serves. We continue to be in such challenging times, and who we choose to lead us will have lasting impacts for generations to come. I am so proud of the AAP’s willingness to speak out and do what is right for our youth who are under siege in so many ways. My goal if elected would be to help select President-elect and Board of Director candidates that embody these traits: inclusive, collaborative, curious, courageous, resilient
