About
Biography
I’m the associate medical director of the Intestinal Rehabilitation Program. I lead the remote patient monitoring program in gastroenterology, which has been shown to improve the care of children with intestinal failure and difficulties with weight gain. My main focus is pediatric intestinal failure, specializing in short gut syndrome, autoimmune enteropathies, metabolic disorders, glycogen storage disorders and other complex nutritional conditions.
My interest in this work stems from a desire to improve the quality of life of children with nutritional challenges in childhood and care for children with chronic conditions. I’m also a researcher working to advance our understanding of intestinal failure by participating in research studies in the field.
I believe in personalized nutritional care. Even patients with the same diagnosis should have a unique plan tailored for them. In my practice, I typically approach different dimensions of the disease, including physical, psychological, social and more. I am a mental health advocate and want to ensure that my patient's mental health is assessed and addressed.
I’m from Brazil and have two kids. When I’m not at work, I like to practice a few different styles of yoga.
