About

My passion is to provide the best neonatal care in Peoria so to equal or even better outcome as any other Neonatal unit in the USA. I am also involved in philanthropic services focusing on providing opportunity to get good education that leads to a better career for current youth of Peoria.

Why I Chose Peoria:

Peoria is a great place to live and work. The NCCU is a challenging and stimulating environment where we can help babies survive and thrive. While the work is rewarding the area is equally providing enough indoor and outdoor activities to relax and rejuvenate.
