About
Biography
My clinical and research interests include chronic kidney disease, glomerular disease, and supporting kidney health in the context of other chronic medical conditions. It is my goal to provide patient- and family-centered kidney care across the age spectrum from infancy to young adulthood, and I strive to find avenues to optimize healthcare delivery and the patient experience through quality improvement research. I am grateful to do so supported by a fantastic multi-disciplinary team.
