Professional History

  I was a French major as an undergraduate student, and was on a term away studying in France when I encountered a neurologist who was translating a diagnostic test into French from English, and I ended up helping make certain the colloquial English was translated accurately. After going on field tests with the instrument, he asked if I had ever considered going to medical school, since he thought I had "some aptitude". It changed the direction of my life, and I ended up here.

Publications

Collaborating with the families of children with significant neurologic and neurodevelopmental disorders continues to be an extraordinary privilege, and for me a constant source of inspiration and wonder. I cannot wait to get to work every day, and cannot imagine doing anything else, or working anywhere else.
