Research Interests

  • Clinical pediatric neuro-oncology
  • Neurologic complications of pediatric cancer
  • Medical education and trainee development

I am interested in clinical pediatric neuro-oncology as well as its intersection with pediatric neurology to improve both the overall outcomes and supportive care of patients both during and after completion of their oncology treatment.  I also want to focus on medical education and improving the exposure and training of both pediatric oncology and pediatric neurology trainees through curriculum development and clinical exposure to patients.
