About

Biography

I'm a pediatric emergency medicine physician at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. I aim to ensure that every child receives the best possible care, and I'm dedicated to advocating for my patients. I prioritize listening to my patients because the information patients and families share is the key to an accurate diagnosis and personalized care. Considering each child's unique circumstances, I strive to provide comprehensive, empathetic and compassionate care.

I have always been drawn to the fast pace of pediatric emergency medicine, including making an initial diagnosis and the variety of acuity and pathology. During my residency training, I recognized the unique role of pediatric emergency medicine physicians as child advocates, which confirmed my passion for the field.

In addition to my clinical interests, I focus on identifying and addressing gaps within regional pediatric trauma systems. My hope is to enhance the quality and accessibility of care for injured children and develop and implement strategies that improve trauma response and contribute to injury prevention.

I like to garden and play tennis, pickleball and volleyball in my free time.
