I am a double board certified Pediatrician and Neonatologist. I have experience with ECMO, therpatuetic hypothermia, and various modes of ventilation including high frequency and NAVA. I have research interests in pediatric asthma, ROP, neurodevelopment, medical simulation, and ID/antibiotic stewardship. I enjoy teaching fellows, residents, and students. I also like to volunteer in my free time.
