All About Angie!
I love Pomegranates but I also cannot think of anything better than freshly picked raspberries!
What music do you love?
Country music is definitely my favorite, but I can be found blasting Summer Hits of the 90s!
What is the last TV show you watched?
FRIENDS! I have a problem (haha). Reruns are my happy place. I also finished Jane the Virgin.
What is your favorite book?
I just really enjoy mysteries and books with big plot twists. I am always looking for good recommendations!
What is your Favorite Ice Cream Flavor?
It definitely depends on where I am getting it from but always in a sugar cone with chocolate sprinkles! I love coffee ice cream and a green mint chocolate chip, but at Carter’s I need chocolate marshmallow. If it is Gifford’s ice cream, you can never go wrong with Campfire S’mores.
What is your favorite vacation you have taken?
I went to Hawaii with my family as a teen, it’s one of the most beautiful places I have ever been.
What did you want to be when you were a child?
I wanted to be a Marine Biologist. I have always loved learning about animals. I used to watch the Discovery Channel after school and was even able to continue this at college and take a Marine Biology course. During this course I was able to learn more about animals and about sustainability. One of our projects was to create a presentation and present to a group of middle school students. This was really what catapulted me into my love for teaching health care to my patients and their family in a way that works for them.
If you could have any other job what would it be?
In another life I would love to be a travel blogger! Traveling to the world’s most beautiful places, learning their cultures, and trying new foods would be a dream come true.
Do you have any hidden or useless talents?
I talk WAY too fast sometimes.
What area of pediatrics are you interested in?
Preventative care. I hope to help you raise your child to be happy and healthy. I want them to be aware of their health and how to make daily activity and healthy eating choices a part of their everyday life.
What’s the best part of CHC?
I love our CHC community but if I had to choose, I love following my patients, getting to know them while watching their family grow!
