Overview


I've always had an investigative mindset and have always loved sharing my knowledge with others. I've spent time in basic science settings working on stem cells and and published on their role in neonatal lung injury, this systemic approach to problem analysis and resolution has provided me with the framework that I use for medical education. This passion has guided my path in medicine both in practice as a neonatologist and in my work in medical education as a tutor, simulation-based educator and mentor.
I have received regional and national recognition for my basic science work  and recognition as a resident and fellow for my excellence in teaching and mentorship while at the University of Miami. I plan to continue this work looking at interdisciplinary training in simulation and expanding access and use to point-of-care US in the neonatal ICU setting. There is so much to be done in these areas, and I am excited to play a role in getting it done!
