Summary
- My academic focus bridges pulmonary and sleep medicine, with a strong interest in care delivery for chronic respiratory failure. I founded a hypoventilation clinic that reduced readmissions for hypercapnic patients and was recognized as a finalist in Banner University’s High Value Idea competition. I am a recipient of the ATS ASPIRE Fellowship and currently engaged in outcomes research on sleep-disordered breathing at UCLA.
Clinically, I have extensive experience in high-acuity ICUs, including transplant and ECMO care, and am dedicated to health equity across diverse populations.
