My research spans pediatric palliative care, precision medicine, and global health, and is grounded in a deep commitment to compassionate, patient-centered care.

I also advise the World Health Organization on global childhood cancer initiatives and am a proud member of the Presidential Task Force on Advocacy for the Society of Pediatric Psychology. I am passionate about building national and global capacity in pediatric palliative care and ensuring that every child and family receives not only the best medical treatment, but also the emotional and psychological support they need. -
