Bio

Graduate of IUSOM 2004 
Pediatrics residency training at Boston Children’s Hospital 
Pediatric critical care fellowship at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital 
Returned to Indiana in 2012 to join the Division of Pediatric Critical Care at Riley 
Have been the medical director of the PICU since 2014 
Over the past several years, Dr. Brian Leland and I have been partnering with Indiana Donor Network in creating a novel approach that allows ICU physicians to engage with patient families in conversations around the potential for their child to serve as an organ donor. Known as Project BLEND (Bridging Language Effectiveness for Organ Donation), this initiative has led to increased consent rates for organ donation within our pediatric ICU. One of our most sacred and important duties as intensivists is to compassionately guide and support patient families during the loss of their child. Project BLEND has helped our patient families find meaning and peace during these tragic events, while at the same time helping to save the lives of other children through the process of organ donation.
