About Me

I’m a board-certified pediatrician who is fellowship-trained in neonatal-perinatal medicine. I care for newborns who have health issues.

It’s an honor to provide support, encouragement and peace to new parents when everything might feel out of control. No one expects to need my services, so I often meet parents during a very frightening time. The best part of being a physician is being able to walk with families through the hard moments and then witness the joy of uniting them with their babies after delivery or a long Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) stay. 

I’m also the director of the Penn State Health Milk Lab, where parents of NICU babies can bring breast milk.
