I am a pediatric rheumatologist with a MS Degree in Clinical Research whose activities include patient care, fellowship education, quality improvement, and clinical research. My research, quality improvement, and clinical interests include neurologic manifestations of systemic autoimmune disorders (primarily autoimmune encephalitis, NPSLE, APS, and CNS vasculitis), systemic vasculitides, and patient-powered research in rare diseases. I am the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA) registry PI and co-director of the CARRA autoimmune encephalitis work group. An increased portion of my clinical effort is spent on standardizing and enhancing care of children with inflammatory brain disorders. As part of this effort I obtained additional training in advanced QI. During the COVID-19 pandemic I have been one of my section’s champions on the pathophysiology and treatment of MIS-C. This has included providing educational sessions at my institution and also to international audiences. I have coordinated evidence-based guidelines for MIS-C at our institution and have insured timely, rational, and multi-disciplinary MIS-C care in both general floor and critical care areas.
