I am very invested in personal and community health, especially in preventing chronic diseases related to lifestyle choices. I am also passionate about my research that looks at long-term health related to in utero stresses (smoking, alcohol, hypoxia, diet, etc.). Recently, I have also found a new interest in pediatric neurological diseases. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking and backpacking with my husband.
