Pediatric Emergency Medicine

Professional Statement

A child's health should not be dictated by the circumstances they were born into and everyone deserves access to high quality healthcare. I aspire to provide exemplary high quality clinical care for my patients in the emergency center at Texas Children's Hospital and, concurrently, develop innovations in child health, advocate for effective health policy, and train clinicians. At the heart of my work is a passion to improve the health of children here in Houston and internationally.

My research is inspired by the clinical care I provide to children in Houston and the three years I spent living in Rwanda and Malawi caring for children and training clinicians. I am a Pediatric Emergency Medicine physician-scientist with research focuses in pneumonia and mobile health. Advocacy is a cornerstone of my clinical practice. In this vein I have held multiple state and national level elected and appointed positions in organized medicine. I have authored policy for the American Medical Association and provided technical assistance to the Ministries of Health of Malawi and Rwanda in addition to the World Health Organization.
