What are the strengths of your training program?
The PICU faculty and staff are an exceptional group that make coming to work every day both enjoyable and educational. Fellows get a great balance of support when needed and autonomy as they progress through the fellowship.

How are you involved in research? What are your research interests?
I am still exploring multiple research areas for my scholarly project. I am interested in patient safety and quality improvement and am a member of the PICU Code Committee, which works to better prepare all members of the interdisciplinary care team for code events.

How do you spend your time outside of work?
I love spending time exploring fun spaces around Durham with my husband and son. I also enjoy running and hiking.
