About Me
I am a fellowship-trained, board-certified pediatric physician in Pediatric Emergency Services at Penn State Health Children’s Hospital. I care for children who are sick or injured and support families during these stressful situations. I enjoy connecting with children and families in a way that helps them recover.
As a member of the Penn State Child Protection team, I focus on children with injuries from abuse and neglect, helping to find solutions when there are safety concerns. I also serve on national committees dedicated to improving the health and well-being of children worldwide and to the problem of child abuse.
Children are our future. When we help children and their families be safe and healthy today, we increase their chances of growing into healthy adults.
