Summary
- I am a pediatric neurologist specializing in neonatal and pediatric neurocritical care. My work focuses on implementing standardized, evidence-based care for critically ill infants and children with neurologic injury, with particular attention to neuroprotection, interdisciplinary collaboration, and continuity across the fetal-to-pediatric continuum. I am also committed to mentoring, program development, and advancing equity in academic medicine through both national and international efforts.
