Q&A with Kaitlin
What is your favorite animated movie or cartoon?
Mulan is my favorite animated movie.
What is your favorite children's book?
"Love You Forever" is my favorite children's book because it was the first book I read to my oldest son after he was born.
What was your favorite childhood toy?
My favorite childhood toys were Polly Pockets.
Who is your greatest inspiration?
My mom is my greatest inspiration because she has supported me through every stage of my life, allowing me to pursue my dreams.
What are your hobbies and interests outside of work?
Spending time with my family, playing with my children, completing home improvement projects with my husband, gardening, and swimming
What inspired you to work in pediatrics?
Children possess a unique ability to find joy in the smallest things, bounce back from difficult challenges, and view the world with untamed curiosity. Working with them allows you to witness their daily growth, hear their unfiltered honesty, and help shape the foundational years of their lives. Every breakthrough, from learning a new word to mastering a puzzle, offers a direct reminder of human potential and hope for the future.
What unique qualities, skills, or services set you apart, and how do you build a positive rapport with patients and their families?
I strive to ensure that my patients and families feel heard through active listening when they have questions and concerns. I prioritize providing anticipatory guidance in order to promote healthy development, prevent injuries, and manage upcoming changes. I believe it is important to create a safe space for patients and families in order to build lasting trust, reduce anxiety, and improve overall health outcomes.
How do you accommodate patients with special needs?
I am happy to adjust my approach during visits in order to reduce stress and promote communication while still providing thorough care based on my patients' specific needs.
