My clinical specialty is pediatric hospital medicine. As a clinical fellow in hospital medicine, I enjoy caring for a wide variety of patients, ranging from infants to young adults, with various infections, diseases and other problems to address. I also enjoy teaching and working with learners from diverse backgrounds.

I enjoy working with our subspecialty consultants and support staff to ensure each patient and family receives appropriate individualized care in the hospital and has a comprehensive plan for when they return home.

During medical school, I also obtained a Master of Public Health (MPH) degree. After my pediatric residency, I worked for the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) for a few years in infectious disease epidemiology. These experiences sparked my research interest.

My research interests include health equity, linkage to care and services after hospitalization, and social and structural influences on health. I’m working to focus my research questions with the goal of improving social and structural factors that influence children's health in our community.
