| Research: | The primary focus of my research is on the motor development of premature infants with and without CNS lesions. This research included describing motor development of premature infants and investigating the efficacy of physical therapy and other developmental interventions in the NICU. A secondary area of research focuses on the study of motor development of children with Lysosomal Storage Disorders. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Education: | I am on faculty in the Physical Therapy Department teach most of the content related to pediatrics. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Service: | Service projects include collaboration with a school for children with hearing impairments, participating in physical therapy mentorship, working with family support groups, and practicing as a pediatric physical therapist. | ||||||||||||||||||||
