I am a pediatric physician scientist and am passionate about understanding how early experiences shape fetal and infant brain development.

I currently train at Children’s National as part of their Pediatric Research Track Residency and R38 research fellow. I conduct research at the Developing Brain Institute within the Center for Prenatal, Neonatal, and Maternal Health Research headed by Dr. Catherine Limperopoulos.

I earned my MD/PhD degree at Georgetown University School of Medicine. My thesis work examined how sensory systems support language in adults under the mentorship of Dr. Maximilian Riesenhuber in the Laboratory for Computational Cognitive Neuroscience.
