I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics, School of Medicine at West Virginia University. I earned my master’s degree in public health from Northeastern University, Boston, and received my Ph.D. in Epidemiology from West Virginia University. I have more than 10 years of experience in maternal and child health research. My current work focuses on examining perinatal risk factors, particularly prenatal substance exposures and short- and long-term health outcomes for newborns.
