She received her medical degree from UMMS and her Master’s in Public Health from the Harvard School of Public Health. She completed residency and fellowship training at Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School. Her work focuses on pediatric asthma research to support the improvement of population-based preventative strategies for children with asthma. Her CRISP Grant project will involve the evaluation of a school-based asthma prevention program in the Worcester Public Schools. Of particular interest are the barriers and facilitators to practical implementation of a school- based asthma prevention program in a community with exceptionally high asthma rates.
