General Info

I am a general pediatrician, pediatric hematologist oncologist, and clinician scientist. As a general pediatrician, I specialize in the unique care of individuals with Down syndrome and am the medical director of the UNC Down syndrome program. I spent nearly a decade living in Sub-Saharan Africa providing both general pediatrics and specialty hematology oncology care to my patients. I am in a group of NIH-funded clinician scientists who research patient reported outcomes and chemotherapy toxicity in unique patient populations, including Burkitt lymphoma patients in Africa and Down syndrome patients in the United States of America.
