After attending the University of Notre Dame for my undergraduate degree, I attended Michigan State University College of Human Medicine, where I completed a certificate in public health. During this time, I also completed the AAP Federal Affairs internship, spending a summer in DC working on federal child health issues. I took a gap year between my third and fourth years of medical school to complete my MPH at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, where I concentrated in maternal and child health, interned for Congressman Lloyd Doggett working on health legislation, and focused on large database research involving NAT and gun injuries. I then completed my residency at Children's National in the LAUnCH track before joining the Children's National PHM fellowship.
