I am a neurologist and health services researcher in the Department of Neurology at the MGH and instructor in neurology at Harvard Medical School.

I completed a research fellowship in Neuromodulation, and three clinical fellowships: Clinical Neurophysiology, Epilepsy and Advanced General Neurology at MGH.

The overarching goal of my career is to create healthcare delivery interventions to improve the quality of care for people with epilepsy. I am currently pursuing a Master's Degree in Public Health at Harvard School of Public Health. I am the recipient of an American Academy of Neurology Clinical Research Training Fellowship sponsored by the American Brain Foundation, a research award from the American Epilepsy Society and Epilepsy Foundation and a research grant sponsored by the MGH Center of Expertise in Quality and Safety.

My work so far has focused on the measurements of quality of care in and their association with patient-centered outcomes.
