Overview

My work as a neonatal nurse practitioner, at Boston Children’s Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital, have demonstrated to me the significant impact medical complexity has on the infant, family, and society. This recognition and clinical work has served as a catalyst for my academic work and research, where I examined Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia, critical illness in the neonatal period, and medical complexity.
