Personal Statement
I am committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care to critically ill children and their families. My clinical interests center around ICU liberation – reducing sedation, promoting early mobility and involving families as partners in care to support meaningful recovery.
I believe that high-quality care in the PICU depends on strong interdisciplinary collaboration, and I strive to foster a team-based approach in every aspect of my work.
Outside of medicine, I enjoy lifting weights, golfing, and playing the New York Times Games, all of which help me stay grounded and balanced.
