About
Biography
I have always enjoyed caring for others in their time of need; consequently, becoming a physician seemed like an appropriate fit. I was specifically drawn to pediatrics because I love children, and to critical care because I enjoy caring for acutely ill patients and their families during what is undoubtedly one of the most difficult times of their lives. I specialize in pediatric critical care medicine.
My research interest is predicting and diagnosing acute kidney injury (AKI), specifically identifying underlying AKI subphenotypes. AKI is a heterogeneous disease state that results in worse outcomes for our patients. We have difficulty diagnosing it and there are no disease-modifying therapies to successfully treat it. The goal of my research is to improve the precision of AKI diagnosis and develop strategies for early and accurate prediction of which patients will be affected. These combined elements could help us more effectively identify and test the appropriate therapy for individual patients.
During my fellowship, I received numerous awards for my research, including the top abstract award at two large international AKI conferences. I was awarded Top Abstract at the International Symposium on Acute Kidney Injury in Children (2018) and Top Fellow Abstract at the AKI and Continuous Renal Replacement Therapies (CRRT) Conference (2020). I was also given the Gold Snapshot Abstract Award at the Critical Care Congress (2019) and the Top Abstract Award at the Cincinnati Children's Boat Lectures (2020). As junior faculty, I was awarded a KL2 Career Development Grant to continue this research program, while gaining further training in the areas of clinical research, biostatistics and clinical informatics. I obtained my board certification in general pediatrics in 2017 and pediatric critical care medicine in 2020.
