Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility

I am dedicated to helping clinicians interested in careers in academic medicine navigate the hidden curriculum for success in the academic arena. I serve as a mentor for the BUSM school-wide PROF (Propelling Rise of Faculty) Initiative. I organize the Department of Neurology Research and Scholarly Activity Series open to students, residents, fellows and all faculty to help foster scholarly productivity. I have mentored undergraduates who have been first-generation college students as they navigate application to medical school. In addition, I lead efforts to provide innovative care to all patients in our Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders Center, but with a focus on immigrants and people of diverse racial and ethnic groups seen in our center to help them navigate the challenges of living with neurological disease.

My clinical and research expertise is the phenotypic characterization of tremor and gait disorders and in the delivery of deep brain stimulation therapy for Parkinson's disease, essential tremor and dystonia. I have successfully mentored ~15 trainees and early career faculty members in movement disorders clinical research who are independent investigators and/or movement disorders clinicians around the globe.

I have also had experience working in industry developing medicines for neurodegenerative diseases and can advise on the similarities and differences between a career in academic medicine and industry research and development.

I am committed to playing a role in faculty development and in mentoring trainees and early career clinicians. I view being an empathetic listener and a connector of people and ideas to be one of the ways in which I can help trainees in various stages of their careers. I have participated in mentor training such as the Boston University Provost Mentor Fellows Program.
