Biography

I had childhood asthma and wanted to grow up one day to be just like my pediatric pulmonologist. He made sure my asthma did not limit my ability to play sports and lead a normal life.

I’m board certified in pediatrics with specialties in pediatric pulmonology and sleep medicine. I specialize in:

  • Sleep apnea
  • Narcolepsy
  • Hypersomnia (excessive sleepiness)
  • Insomnia
  • Night terrors
  • Restless legs syndrome
  • Sleepwalking
  • Asthma
  • Chronic lung disease
  • Sickle cell-related pulmonary disease

During my pediatric pulmonology fellowship, I fell in love with sleep medicine. I learned that prioritizing sleep and treating sleep disorders can be life changing for children and their families.

I received my degree in osteopathic medicine from New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine, completed residency at Maimonides Medical Center and fellowships at Children’s National Hospital and George Washington University.

My research interests include asthma, obstructive sleep apnea and viral infections in young children.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my husband, son and 2 dogs. We enjoy traveling, taking our dogs out for walks, cooking and spending time with family.
