About

Biography

I am an assistant clinical professor of Neurology in The Ohio State University College of Medicine. My academic work is centered on strategies to enhance care for patients with cognitive impairment, memory disorders and dementia.

Specifically, I am focused on improving outcomes for cognitively impaired patients who present to an emergency department or hospital with behavioral symptoms. My research has involved investigations of the acute care setting, including primary data collection at an institutional level and secondary data analysis at a national level, to look for clinical, pharmacological and system-level factors that lead to worsened outcomes after discharge. My goal is to identify and address problematic areas and help develop new interventions and novel care approaches that will improve patient quality of life.
