She completed her medical school training at The Downstate Medical School in Brooklyn, New York and her pediatric residency and fellowship at Johns Hopkins Hospital. As Director of Antimicrobial Stewardship, she assists clinicians with optimizing the selection, route, dose, interval, and frequency of antibiotics, developing guidelines to guide the appropriate and judicious use of antibiotics, and monitoring patient outcomes after implementation of these practices. Her research focuses on clinical outcomes related to antibiotic administration strategies in both children and adults and the incorporation of rapid diagnostics to assist with the early optimization of antibiotic therapy. She is particularly interested in determining optimal therapy for infections caused by multi-drug resistant Gram-negative organisms.
