The field of Pharmaceuticals is ever evolving; I never get bored. – Tara Gonzales

PREEMIEWORLD: How long have you been working in your field?

TARA: 13 years

PREEMIEWORLD: Why did you choose your current profession?

TARA: Children are our most precious resource. They come into the world with potential limited by only the confines we as adults place on them. I became a Pediatrician to help all children maximize their potential. I am currently a Medical Director for a company that helps to actualize these values. So working in this field allows me to make a greater impact on the entire pediatric community.

PREEMIEWORLD: What do you want other professionals to know about what you do?

TARA: Helping to get innovative therapies to improve the lives of the patients who need them is a blessing for which I am grateful and do not take for granted. I am an advocate for anyone who is under represented or marginalized. I will always use my voice to do good works in the interest of all children (and adults too).

PREEMIEWORLD: What advice do you give to preemie parents?

TARA: You are your child’s greatest advocate. Never let anyone limit their potential. Children will always exceed our expectations no matter where we set the bar. Aim high.

PREEMIEWORLD: Fun Facts: Tell us a fun or quirky fact about you.

TARA: Marvel over DC forever.
