“I've always loved kids,” explains Dr Simpson. She spent her young adulthood working at youth camps. When she completed medical school, she knew pediatrics would be incredibly fulfilling. It is a challenging career where she can regularly interact with children and their families in hopes of building stronger, healthier families. Dr Simpson was inspired to pursue her career in medicine from her mom, a single mother who raised two kids and completed a college degree. Outside of work, Dr Simpson enjoys spending time with her husband and two kids. She enjoys reading, working out (boxing, soccer and weight training) and attending University of Michigan football and basketball games.

Dr Stephens’ interest in pediatric hematology and oncology was sparked during her residency rotation, where she met patients and families who changed her life forever. After that experience, Dr Stephens wanted to continue to learn and grow as a physician so she could help make a difference in her pediatric patients’ lives. She credits her family as her biggest influence and support in life. They have always encouraged her to pursue her goals and dreams. In her free time, Dr Stephens enjoys baking, traveling and spending time with her family and dogs. I chose pediatrics because it grants me the privilege of working with children every day and experiencing their joy, creativity and resilience.
