Summary

  • I am a pediatric neurologist specializing in traumatic brain injury (TBI). My research/scholarly work was inspired from my experience in caring for patients and families at Boston Medical Center (BMC), in the multidisciplinary Pediatric Concussion Clinic, which I founded in 2013. I am especially committed to ensuring equitable access to high quality, culturally sensitive care for youth with concussion.
