About
Biography
As a pediatric emergency medicine specialist, I am dedicated to providing thoughtful, compassionate care to children and families during what can sometimes be a stressful time. I enjoy the opportunity to work with patients of all ages and with the varying conditions that we treat in the emergency department — and to bring a combination of evidence-based medical knowledge and family centered care to each visit.
My research interests include quality improvement, ED patient safety and pediatric sepsis. These interests stem from a desire to improve the care and experience for children and families with acute illness. My main focus is on improving processes and systems related to the identification and care of children with sepsis. This work includes efforts here at Cincinnati Children’s, and through involvement with national pediatric sepsis collaboratives.
