Summary

  • I am a board certified pediatric neurologist and vascular neurologist. I completed residency in Pediatrics and Child Neurology followed by a fellowship in Vascular Neurology (Stroke) at the Johns Hopkins Hospital followed by a PhD in Clinical Investigation at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. I direct the pediatric stroke program at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt. My NIH-funded research program is focused on the neurological sequelae of sickle cell disease in adults and children, particularly using advanced MRI methods to understand cerebral hemodynamic differences that may predispose to stroke. I have also focused on brain health in children with type 1 diabetes and other chronic medical conditions.
