I am a board certified academic pediatric intensivist. My career passion involves the care of critically ill children and the enhancement of patient safety in the ICU. As a former US Peace Corps Volunteer, I have a long term interest in global health, specifically in the area of pediatric critical care capacity development. I am a member of the AAP Section on Critical Care Executive Committee and am a Board Member of the the World Federation of Pediatric Intensive and Critical Care Societies (WFPICCS).
