About
Biography
I completed residency training in internal medicine and pediatrics, followed by a combined fellowship in adult and pediatric endocrinology. My clinical training provides a unique background in managing diabetes and endocrine conditions across the lifespan. I have a special interest in the psychosocial aspects of diabetes care for adolescents and young adults, including depression and resilience. As the director of the diabetes transition program, I aim to prepare pediatric patients for a successful transition to adult care. My additional clinical and research interests include Turner syndrome, transgender health, hereditary endocrine conditions, and quality improvement in healthcare.
