Clinical Interests
My clinical interests include neonatal renal function and long-term kidney outcomes of preterm infants, family engagement in the NICU experience, medical education, and teaching evidence-based medicine, biostatistics and study design.
Care Philosophy
I strive to provide empathic, evidence-based care to my patients and their families. It is a privilege and a joy to care for NICU families during a stressful time.
