Summary
- I am a neonatologist and board-certified pediatrician with clinical interests in the care of ELBW infants, neonatal resuscitation, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and nutrition. My academic interests include quality improvement, neonatal jaundice, reducing health disparities, and advancing evidence-based neonatal care.
I completed my pediatric residency in Norfolk, where I also worked as a pediatric hospitalist before pursuing fellowship training in Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine at University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital and Case Western Reserve University. I am proud to have returned to Hampton Roads to care for newborns and their families at Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters.
