Biography
I practice in obstetrics and gynecology with an emphasis on high-risk pregnancies. I help my patients manage their specific risks to keep them and their babies safe.
My approach to patient care places a strong emphasis on patient communication and collaboration. I help them to understand the risks and management of their specific conditions affecting them and their baby so that may make the best decisions for their individualized care. No two pregnancies are the same, and it’s important to me that my patients’ needs are addressed as comprehensively as possible.
Additionally, when caring for my patients, I’m mindful of the adage that it 'takes a village to raise a child.' Toward that end, I work with my patients to appropriately include family, friends and support persons to create positive, family-centric care plans.
I genuinely love being at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and doing the work that I do. We have excellent clinical teams and health care professionals here all working together to keep our patients healthy and safe.

Academics and research
I am a maternal fetal medicine specialist and the medical director of Labor and Delivery at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. My primary research and clinical interests are focused on quality improvement initiatives with the goal of enhancing patient care.
Focusing primarily on hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, I have led institutional and state projects aimed at improving treatment for mothers facing heightened risk of morbidity and mortality. My work has included developing strategies to better address birth outcome disparities for patients of color and in lower socioeconomic situations. I have additional expertise in fetal diagnosis and therapy, specifically in the areas of fetal echocardiography and alloimmunization.
I have worked to improve the referral process in my role as chair of the Alloimmunization Committee at The Ohio State University. I am also committed to developing a more robust, consistent and efficient process for fetal heart image acquisition. I am doing this by leveraging 5D fetal imaging techniques at the Ohio State Wexner Medical Center in partnership with the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Pediatric Cardiology Unit. I also serve as co-chair of the Ohio Fetal Medicine Collaborative.
