Graduation Date:

Education: University of Pennsylvania (BS, Nursing); Columbia University (MPH)

Research Focus: My research interests include epidemiologic methods, electronic health record data, and pediatric hospital medicine. Prior to coming to UCSF, I worked as a pediatric RN for a decade, primarily in intensive care. I recently received an NIH F31 grant for my dissertation project, which aims to apply machine learning to predict the earliest safe extubation time for children in the pediatric intensive care unit. My goal is to create a clinician decision support tool which will improve quality, safety, and value of care.
