Even in the setting of severe illness, interacting with children is uplifting and extremely rewarding for her.

Through these studies, she hopes to improve the ability to care for children with blood disorders. She has an interest in medications and new ways to treat sickle cell disease, but also study quality of life and outcomes of other blood disorders.
