She is also a graduate of the inaugural cohort of the Academic Pediatric Association Health Policy Scholars Program. Her academic work, which intersects research, clinical care, advocacy, and medical education, focuses on optimizing the care and well-being of children with medical complexity and disabilities, particularly those in or at risk of entering the child welfare system. Her research, which has received federal and foundation funding, aims to inform interventions, practice, and policy that strengthen and support families to care for children with medical complexity in their own home, as opposed to in a hospital or foster care setting. She is committed to translating her research into impactful advocacy and policy focused on children in foster care and children with medical complexity at the local and national level, as evidenced by authoring AAP policy statements and elected/appointed leadership positions (e.g, Executive Committee of AAP Council on Foster Care, Adoption and Kinship Care, Maryland State Council for Child Abuse and Neglect). As a clinician and educator, she is a general pediatrician at the Harriet Lane Primary Care clinic, where she teaches pediatric residents and medical students. She is also co-director of the Health Equity and Advocacy track within the Johns Hopkins pediatric residency program. She teaches about bioethics and advocacy to medical students and residents across Johns Hopkins.
