She is board certified in General Pediatrics and Neonatology. She works closely with the infants and their families, both in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and after discharge. Her clinical responsibilities include being an attending physician in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and performing neurodevelopmental assessments in the NICU Follow-up clinic. These evaluations include an extensive neurologic exam including assessment for cerebral palsy and a developmental evaluation performed using the Bayley III Scales of Infant Development.

Ongoing projects includes evaluating the short and long-term outcomes of preterm infants affected by intrauterine growth restriction and evaluating parental stress of the NICU patients.
