Attending Physician
Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
I am an attending physician in the Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Prior to attending medical school, I earned a Master of Science degree in Human Nutrition, which has provided the foundation for my clinical and research work. My motivation for pursuing a medical career was to understand how optimization of nutrition and gastrointestinal health could be leveraged to promote long-term health in youth with chronic diseases, with a specific interest in Cystic Fibrosis and other chronic pulmonary diseases. My current research is focused on the impact of CFTR modulators on GI health, energy balance and nutritional status.
