Biography
Since joining Ohio State Wexner Medical Center in 2009, I have worked with adults in the acute care setting, treating various conditions including orthopedic, cardiovascular, surgical intensive care, neurological and general medicine. After three years in adult acute care, I moved to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Ohio State to pursue my passion of working with premature infants. I created a therapy program in the NICU focused on occupational therapy and fragile infant feeding.
I have since played a crucial role in the development of the OT/PT roles in the unit and sits on a number of interdisciplinary committees that focus on improving outcomes of neonates. I created an oral motor development program that encompassed all infant gestational ages, which included the use of a computer-assisted oral stimulation device called the NTrainer. I participated in the Fragile Infant Feeding Institute in 2013.
When I became a certified neonatal therapist in 2018, I was one of the first in Ohio. I am certified in the Basic Gross Motor Assessment, which allows me to determine development delays such cerebral palsy. I am an active member of the National Association of Neonatal Therapists, where I have been an evidenced-based poster presenter and also attended Breastfeeding 201, which promotes breastmilk and breastfeeding in the NICU. I have a passion for working with medically complex neonates on feeding and educating parents to empower them to care for their infant.
