About
Biography
I am board certified in both pediatrics and pediatric endocrinology. I have been on the faculty of Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center within the Department of Pediatrics of the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine since 2012.
I am an assistant professor of pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology within the UC Department of Pediatrics. My main clinical focus is diabetes, as well as providing care for patients with endocrine disorders, including growth, thyroid, pituitary, pubertal, and adrenal dysfunction. My research focuses on the effects of congenital anemias and cancer on the endocrine system and the outcomes of chemotherapy, radiation, transfusions, and chronic steroid therapy on endocrine hormone function.
I received my bachelor of arts degree from Hanover College. I received my PhD from Indiana University and my MD from Indiana University School of Medicine.
I completed my pediatric internship and residency at Cincinnati Children’s, where I also served as chief resident. I also obtained my fellowship training from Cincinnati Children’s.
