Professional Goals

1. I hope to to create a therapeutic environment for children and families where they feel comfortable asking questions about their child's care, reducing pediatric trauma and prioritizing effective communication

2. I hope to improve my assessment skills as my career advances, learning from my colleagues and interdisciplinary teams in order to provide the best care possible for my patients. 

3. I plan to integrate play theory into my everyday practice, utilizing medical play and child-friendly language to create an open dialogue where a child's misconceptions and fears can be identified to help them cope with hospitalization.
