I am an academic board-certified pediatric dermatologist. My passion for pediatric dermatology has roots in my commitment to excellence in patient care and teaching. I am committed to caring for every patient as if they were a member of my own family. I am honored to serve a diverse population who entrust their child's skin care to me. My goal is to provide a welcoming dermatology home for all pediatric patients.

My career in academic dermatology has spanned more than 25 years. I have dedicated my career to teaching future generations of dermatologists to ensure delivery of high-quality skin care. I enjoy instructing dermatology residents both in a clinical setting and in the classroom. The pipeline for developing our future healthcare leaders starts much earlier. I believe in community outreach to encourage youth to pursue careers in medicine. In addition to teaching as a professor in medical schools, I have instructed in elementary, middle, and high schools. Through these efforts I hope to inspire students to explore careers in medicine.

I am a dual certified dermatologist and dermatopathologist, with a passion for cutaneous t-cell lymphoma and dermatopathology.
