I am a pediatric intensivist at the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt, as well as a clinical bioethicist with Vanderbilt University Medical Center's Center for Biomedical Ethics and Society. My research interests include decision making for medically complex children during times of critical illness and the provision of palliative care for pediatric patients in the PICU.
