I am a clinical pediatric hospitalist with scholarship focused on global health outcomes research and medical education.

My global health research has investigated post-hospital outcomes for children in low-income countries. We found that children in low-income countries have a very high risk for mortality after hospitalization. This led to implementing clinical interventions to save lives and expanding collaboration between academic institutions in conducting clinical research within East Africa. 

My scholarship in medical education has focused on evaluating the impact and opportunities for trainees to engage in global health as well as develop peer-reviewed educational tools for global health teaching. I serve on the Association of Pediatric Program Directors (APPD) Global Health Learning Community Steering Committee and am actively involved in teaching undergraduates, medical students and pediatric residents.
