My Biography & Research

Biography

My fascination with neonatology started early in my medical training. As a neonatologist, my clinical expertise is in the areas of chronic lung disease (CLD), bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and neonatology. My research interests include quality improvement, chronic lung disease, bronchopulmonary dysplasia and neonatology. I am working to standardize care for CLD and BPD to reduce BPD in our neonatal population.

I was drawn to these fields of study because of a significant disease burden of BPD in our neonatal population. My goal is to understand the pathophysiology of BPD and develop effective interventions that will lead to a reduction in morbidity and mortality in the neonatal population. I am passionate about decreasing the incidence of this disease.

I’m board-certified by the American Board of Pediatrics (2015) and began working at Cincinnati Children’s in 2017. My work has been published in various journals like the Journal of Perinatology.
