    I grew up in southern California and later ventured out to the east coast, first for medical school in New York, and then D.C. for my pediatric residency. Not surprisingly, I absolutely loved living in the District, stayed on as a chief resident for a year, and was fortunate enough to match into the CNH Infectious Diseases Fellowship as a traditional track fellow for another three! Academically, I’m interested in antimicrobial stewardship, medical education, and global and immigrant health. When I’m not at the hospital, you can find exploring the DMV outdoors (cycling, hiking, skiing) or indoors (cooking, museums, D&D, brunching). Favorite bug = Hantavirus. A gnarly viral illness with an interesting history. The genotype famous for outbreaks in the western U.S. got its name because several local communities didn’t want to have it named after them (earlier names included Muerto Canyon and Four Corners Virus). The virologists gave up and called it Sin Nombre, or "Nameless."

    I am a Marylander born and bred but have done all my medical training in the midwest. I went to medical school at the Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine and did my pediatric residency at Advocate Children’s-Park Ridge. I was thrilled to come to Children's National for my Pediatric ID Fellowship not only because it is a fantastic program, but because it allowed me to come back home! I have been interested in Infectious Diseases since college, and I did a master's in ID and Immunology before going to medical school. Being a member of the ID team is like being a part of an elite detective squad. We delve into medical histories and lab results to find answers and help patients. I have a passion for antimicrobial stewardship and being a part of CDER allows me to get a deeper understanding of how drugs come to be used in practice. When I'm not being a detective, I'm looking for new restaurants and that amazing Maryland seafood, enjoying time with my family, and playing with my cat. If I had to pick a favorite microbe (quite difficult to do) it would have to be Fusobacterium necrophorum, the main causative agent of Lemierre's syndrome, because it's not commonly seen and makes a big entrance when it arrives.
