My Greatest Accomplishment
Running a neonatal research program at the largest delivery hospital in California is one of my most exciting and greatest accomplishments since graduating from Drexel's College of Medicine. Every day I am able to look at new therapies that help premature newborns at birth — and determine the long-lasting implications of our therapies. I have been very fortunate to be able to work in such a dynamic collaborative field of medicine.
How Drexel Helped
Drexel's innovative teaching program at the College of Medicine prepared me for a leadership role. The faculty taught us to think outside of conventional medicine and challenge current thinking in managing and treating patients. Most important, they taught us the importance of collaboration to find answers, which can be seen in their unique program for integrated learning.
Where I'll Be in Five Years
I hope to be at the forefront in neonatal medicine — helping to design and develop treatments to improve outcomes in premature and term newborns who are at risk for brain and organ injury.
