Biography

I am deeply committed to furthering the health of children through patient consultation, organized advocacy, clinical research, quality improvement, and a dedication to lifelong education. While I am interested in all aspects of the field of pediatric gastroenterology, hepatology, and nutrition, my professional focus is in nutrition and its role in inflammatory bowel diseases along with considering contributions of social determinants of health to health outcomes. I have completed quality improvement training through the Institute for Healthcare Improvement and hold a certificate in clinical research to augment academic pursuits.

Professional Background

My background in pediatrics and pediatric gastroenterology, hepatology, and nutrition has allowed me to pursue endeavors to further my commitment to child health advocacy. Throughout my training, I have been involved in organizations to advocate for access to healthy food, to educate about gastrointestinal-related issues, and to improve nutrition education of medical providers. I am involved in optimizing IBD care delivery through quality improvement initiatives at Golisano Children's Hospital to offer the best care for our patients. I am actively involved in the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation, and the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition. Through these organizations I have among other endeavors advocated for patient access to enteral nutrition and medications needed for disease.

Research

I am passionate about understanding the impact of nutrition in gastroenterological disease and its management and specifically in understanding the role of nutrition in the management of inflammatory bowel diseases. My research focuses on barriers and facilitators to implementation of dietary strategies for disease treatment. I am interested in the role of social determinants of health to health outcomes, and namely have engaged in quality improvement efforts to screen and provide resources for patients affected by food insecurity.
