Overview

My clinical and research areas of interest include children with complex respiratory needs including those with sleep disordered breathing, invasive and non-invasive home ventilation, respiratory sequelae of neuromuscular disease and oro-motor dysfunction. My research intersects with quality improvement through the evaluation of strategies to improve the efficiency of patient care and evaluate novel strategies to optimize patient care.
