Teaching Interests
My teaching interests center on working with residents and medical students in the newborn nursery and in the inpatient hospitalist setting. I am committed to helping learners strengthen their clinical reasoning, formulate effective differential diagnoses and management plans, and refine their presentation skills. I also greatly enjoy providing procedural instruction in the newborn nursery to help build their competence and confidence.

Abstract
Research Interests
My current research centers on enhancing trainee education in the newborn nursery, with a particular emphasis on breastfeeding instruction and competency. I created and implemented a comprehensive breastfeeding curriculum using pre- and post-testing to assess learning gains, and the findings showed significant improvement in trainee knowledge and confidence.
