About
Why I chose Peoria:
I am midwestern born and raised, and grew up 1.5 hours from Peoria. I chose Peoria for it's rich depth of clinical Neonatology with support for my research and quality improvement projects.
Research/Area of Interest:
I am very passionate about the small baby unit and lead the SBU committee and VON at our hospital. I love working to improve healthcare disparities, specifically in breastfeeding, safe sleep, and birth trauma.
