About

Biography

Academia is a rigorous career path, but reaps many rewards. By working at an academic medical center, I have freedom to dig deep into important questions and share answers with my peer academics, students and practitioners. Before coming to The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, I was actively involved in the research and publishing of peer-reviewed journals and textbooks. I’m pleased to continue research on hypertensive diseases of pregnancy, substance use and misuse during pregnancy, and postpartum hemorrhage.
