Overview

I focus on reproductive rheumatology and preventative health care to improve comprehensive care for patients with rheumatologic conditions. I have received grant funding to support research analyzing pregnancy experiences and outcomes in women with vasculitis. Through rigorous methods, diverse research experience, collaboration with patients and national advocacy groups, and formal didactic training my overarching goal is to empower women with rheumatologic conditions and providers to make informed decisions regarding family planning and preventative health care.
