About Me

As a neurologist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, I primarily specialize in caring for patients who have experienced an acute stroke. I also treat conditions that cause seizures, chronic headaches and dizziness. I am always caring and empathetic with everyone who comes to see me, and I tailor treatment plans to best align with each patient’s specific goals.

I am especially passionate about advancing teleneurology capabilities as a way to expand access to high-quality care to all patients regardless of physical location. I serve as the co-director of the Division of Teleneurology and Neurohospitalists, and helped create the teleneurology network that runs alongside our telestroke program.

I love teaching students and residents and opening them up to the possibilities of telemedicine, and my research has been focused on improving medical education for stroke care. I received two national education awards to study how high-fidelity stroke simulations impact performance in medical students and residents. I also serve as a clinical assistant professor of neurology at The Ohio State University College of Medicine.
