Travels/Languages: I was born in Bangkok, Thailand and I have been fortunate enough to travel to Europe (France, Italy, Spain, Ireland, and Greece), Cambodia, South Africa, Australia, Fiji, Belize, Mexico, and the British Virgin Islands…but sadly, I only speak English and a tiny bit of Spanglish.

Likes About UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh: After completing residency at UPMC Children's Hospital, I knew I could never find a better ‘work family’ than the Pediatric Hospital Medicine division here in Pittsburgh. The culture of the entire hospital is so uplifting and supportive, the faculty are brilliant yet incredibly approachable (and always open to acquiring new mentees!), and the hospital really is part of the community. The camaraderie amongst attendings and trainees of all levels and specialties represents a genuine investment in the shared goal of improving the lives of children and families.  Plus, I’ve gotten quite attached to the Dole whip from the Koala café!
