Professional Background

I started my career in private practice in Indianapolis. However, when the opportunity arose, I did not hesitate to become a faculty member at KU. I am excited to bring my unique set of skills to provide care to patients in the KC metro area. I am also excited to share those skills to help teach the next generation of pathologists about the unique and important challenges in the field.

Research

Overview

Currently, I am working on a research collaboration that involves looking at extravillous trophoblast and placental implantation. I am collaborating with Dr. Paul and identifying appropriate placenta samples for analysis from patients with reported fetal growth restriction.
