I am a primary care pediatrician and health services researcher focused on risk identification, care coordination, and connection to community-based services for high-risk mother-newborn dyads. Over the past 15 years as a general pediatrician, I have cultivated a specific interest in newborn care and early infancy, with extensive clinical experience caring for high-risk mothers and their newborns, particularly those affected by maternal opioid use disorder. I have received federal funding for my research through multiple mechanisms, including a BIRCWH K12 award, an R40 from HRSA/Maternal Child Health Bureau, and most recently an AHRQ R18 to implement and evaluate a group well child care intervention for mothers in treatment for opioid use disorder at Thomas Jefferson University.
