About
Biography
As a pediatric hospitalist, I care for the needs of children in inpatient units at Cincinnati Children’s. My academic mission in hospital medicine is to promote evidence-based clinical practice to improve patient outcomes. I believe in applying health equity and social justice to advance child health both locally and globally.
My research is focused on the intersection of equity, diversity, inclusion and medical education.
Nationally, I serve on the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Section on Hospital Medicine Diversity and Inclusion Task Force. During my training at Seattle Children’s Hospital, I developed and led several medical education initiatives surrounding equity, diversity and inclusion for pediatric resident trainees and the Division of Hospital Medicine.
