What motivates you to seek this position?

I would be truly honored to serve again as District V chairperson and continue advancing child health while supporting pediatricians across our district. My experiences this past year, both as district chairperson and as a member of the AAP Board of Directors, have reinforced the power of collaboration, advocacy and education to create lasting impact for children and families while strengthening support for pediatricians. Having practiced as both an independent and academic pediatrician, I believe I bring a thoughtful, balanced perspective that reflects the diverse needs of our members and the families we are privileged to serve.
