Professional Statement
I am currently a Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Baylor and work in the Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine. I completed my medical education at the University of Medicine & Dentistry of New Jersey-New Jersey Medical School, my residency in Obstetrics & Gynecology at The New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center and my fellowship training in Maternal-Fetal Medicine at the University of Texas Health Science Center – Houston.My clinical and research endeavors have focused on prenatal ultrasound, prenatal diagnosis and medical complications of pregnancy, and I have been very involved in ultrasound education. My teaching efforts over my career include education of medical students, residents, genetic counseling master's students, fellows and clinicians. Since moving to Baylor College of Medicine in 2011, my clinical focus continues with ultrasound and various fetal abnormalities including neural tube defects. I am concentrating on education and improving the quality of ultrasound scans performed at our different sites, ultrasound education for Maternal-Fetal Medicine fellows. I serve as the Ultrasound Clinic Chief for Texas Children’s Hospital/Baylor College of Medicine and Co-direct the Ultrasound Quality Program for our department.
