My research focuses on how risk factors, exposures and environment triggers can lead to early childhood wheezing and severe asthma. I also study novel technological interventions and medications for treatment of preschool, childhood and severe asthma to understand if they are effective and safe. The goal of our research is to understand early triggers for childhood asthma and the best treatment approach for children with all types of asthma.

My clinical and research interests focus on food allergy in the infant population. I am particularly interested in early allergenic food introduction and the evaluation of infants at high-risk for food allergy. I hope to identify a biomarker of food allergy and to improve food allergy diagnostic testing. In my free time, I enjoy being active and outdoors.

I am focused on developing less invasive testing for pediatric patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). My lab is working to identify blood-based biomarkers that could reduce the need for many endoscopy procedures. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, snowboarding, biking and cooking different pasta dishes from scratch.
