As a clinician-investigator, she is dedicated to advancing research in the areas of pregnancy and postpartum care with a long-term vision to impact healthcare quality and efficiency. Originally from Chicago, she completed her residency at Northwestern University and fellowship at Stanford University. She augmented her clinical experience with formal research training through a Master's degree in epidemiology and clinical research and additional biostatistical coursework on predictive modeling through her Career Development Award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

She maintains a diverse research portfolio funded through the National Institutes of Health (NIDA, NICHD, NINR) and in collaboration with researchers from health policy, biostatistics, bioinformatics, public health and pediatrics. Her work with the VUMC Maternal Pharmacoepidemiology group uses Tennessee Medicaid data linked to vital records to examine medication prescribing during pregnancy and postpartum.
