Current Fellows

Meet the Neonatal-Perinatal Fellows

Medical School: University of Pennsylvania
Residency: Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia
Why Children’s National: I loved that Children’s is a big referral center where I’ll be exposed to high acuity and a wide variety of diseases, but also that we rotate at GW where we do delivery room resuscitation and manage more bread-and-butter NICU patients. I also wanted to gain ECMO experience, and wanted to go somewhere where EMCO is managed in the NICU. Plus, I went to college in DC, and was very excited to come back to this incredible city.
Research Interest: Clinical research and quality improvement
Fun Fact: I have a fluffy corgi named Strawberry, who I occasionally carry around in a backpack

Medical School: Georgetown University
Residency: Rush University
Why Children’s National: I chose Children’s because of the opportunity to rotate at both a large, level IV NICU with a wide range of pathologies as well as a smaller, level III NICU with delivery experience. Additionally, I have always loved DC and was excited to move back!

Medical School: New York Medical College
Residency: Children’s National Hospital
Why Children’s National: I was a resident here and got to see first-hand the wide variety of patients in the NICU. From bread and butter to the most complicated, we get to take care of and learn from all types of patients. I also love the friendly atmosphere and getting to working closely with other disciplines.
Research Interest: Neuro-NICU
Fun Fact: If I wasn’t a doctor, I would be a party planner!

Medical School: New York University Grossman School of Medicine
Residency: New York Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital/Columbia University Irving Medical Center
Why Children’s National: I was drawn to the diversity of clinical opportunities that the program offers. I am excited to train at both a dedicated children’s hospital with a team of incredible subspecialists, surgeons, and pediatric support and at an academic medical center with deliveries and a level III NICU. I grew up in the area, and I chose Children's National so I could be surrounded by the love and support of my family throughout fellowship. It's great to be back in DC!
Research Interest: Public health, infection prevention
Fun Fact: I love to cook and bake, and I have a cat named Babka after one of my favorite NYC treats!
