• In less than one month, I will officially be another year older. At this point in my life, I wish I could say … “I’ve got it all figured out”.  But the fact is … I don’t.  The old saying “You learn something new every day” still applies to this getting-older girl. To get a […]

  • My first dream job as a pediatrician was at a small clinic. There were 3 other doctors who were well established there with a wealth of experience.  Fresh out of training, I was grateful to start this journey under their wings.

  • I applied for a job once. It was about ten minutes away from home. I could easily pick up my kids after school. Flexible schedule. Reasonable expectations.
