I am a developmental neurologist advancing lifelong care for individuals with Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathies (DEE) at Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children's Hospital, with a focus on transition-to-adulthood as well as research in DEEs and other neurodevelopmental disabilities.

I am also involved in the academic and clinical education of neurology, child neurology, and neurodevelopmental disabilities trainees within BCM.

My particular interests and research lie in DEEs, comprehensive care in NDDs including mind-body integration, care and education in developmental conditions and disability in low- and middle-income countries.
