About Me
I joined Penn State Health Children’s Hospital in 2020 as an assistant professor of Pediatrics. My research focuses on delivery room management, including delayed cord clamping, preventing hypothermia in preterm infants, and neonatal resuscitation. My other academic interests include perinatal ethics, peri-viability, and palliative care. I am also involved in numerous NICU quality improvement initiatives to improve clinical care.
