Clinical Interests
I see children with a wide range of lung disease. I am particularly interested in asthma, including severe/difficult to treat asthma and preschool asthma. Additionally, I study health disparities and how social determinants of heath impact respiratory disease in children.

Care Philosophy
I believe that the best care for children involves caring for the whole family and considering each patient’s unique circumstances. I work to provide the best care through active listening and collaboration with patients and their families
