I am currently a PEDIG investigator for ROP 3/4, looking at different treatments for infants with ROP. My other research interests include keratoconus and keratoconus screening in people with Down Syndrome, visual sequelae in children with brain tumors, retinal detachments in patients with Down Syndrome, and CVI in pre mature infants.

Eyes and Vision - Pediatric Ophthalmology and Adult Strabismus
Clinical Interests
Pediatric keratoconus, ophthalmic outcomes and visual sequelae in children with neuro-oncologic diagnoses, eye disease in children with Down Syndrome, pediatric eye trauma, and general pediatric ophthalmology
Care Philosophy
One of the things I love about being a pediatric ophthalmologist is the opportunity to set up a child for a happy, healthy, and successful future. I strive to provide the best possible care for my patients by creating a collaborative, safe, and friendly environment. No two children are the same, and I work to create a tailored multifaceted plan to best suit each patient and their needs.
When I'm not at work you can find me training for a race or hanging out with my husband and our three-legged dog, Butter. I also enjoy doing jigsaw puzzles and learning calligraphy.
