Specialized Areas of Clinical, Research and/or Education Interests
My current clinical interests fall within the domains of epilepsy, neuro-immunology, and headache medicine. I have participated in research related to the epidemiology of glioblastoma multiforme in Pennsylvania, qualitative research and quality improvement for system-level care of patients with chronic headache conditions, and clinical research pertaining to inpatient management of refractory headache conditions. In addition to research related tasks, I have a passion for medical education through pre-clinical neuroscience education including the development of straightforward neuroanatomical guides, direct didactics with students, and creation of board-style questions for practice of clinical application.
