I was born and raised in St. Louis. My professional goals are to treat children with both acute and chronic pulmonary issues. I too have asthma, so I understand pediatric asthma on a personal and professional level. My professional interests include childhood asthma and allergic diseases, sleep-disordered breathing, pediatric sleep, chronic cough, exercise physiology, cystic fibrosis, sickle-cell lung disease, and premature lung disease. It is a privilege to practice medicine here at Mercy Clinic and help serve my community.
