Three Fun Facts About Me

1. I was born in Colombo, Sri Lanka, and moved with my family to London, Washington DC, Missouri, and Buffalo, before putting down roots in sunny Orlando.
2. I love to travel! In the past 10 years, I’ve been to Australia, England, France, Wales, Sri Lanka, Austria, Ireland, Denmark, Iceland, Italy, and Canada and explored this great country. I can’t wait for my next adventure.
3. My favorite pastime is riding horses – especially finding my “inner cowgirl” on dude ranches in the Grand Tetons, Banff and Colorado.

Why do you love your job?

Kids are amazing at every age! I love watching our patients grow up (although it does make me feel old).
