About Me

I am a pediatric neurologist at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital. I diagnose and treat children and adolescents with a range of neurological conditions, such as genetic disorders, neuromuscular disorders, epilepsy, migraine and stroke.

From early in my career, I have found the brain to be fascinating — it's able to do so many complex things to make us who we are. In college, I completed my bachelor’s degree in neuroscience. As I moved on to my medical training, it became clear that pediatric neurology was where I belonged. The field combines my medical interest in neurology with my love for caring for children.

As a pediatric neurologist, it's an absolute joy to help a child overcome their neurologic diagnosis. Their resilience and optimism in the face of illness continues to inspire me to be the best doctor I can be for them.

My goal is to provide care that not only offers the latest advances in pediatric neurology but also embodies compassion and helps children have a high quality of life. I want to make sure my patients and their families have all the information they need to feel supported on their health journey.

One of the most important aspects of my job is to help explain complex diseases and their treatment. I look forward to building a relationship with my patients and working together as a team.
