I am Professor of Pediatrics, Division Chief of Pediatric Pulmonary. Director of Cystic Fibrosis Center and Director of Pediatric Sleep Disorders Center. My passion for clinical care, research and education drives me to excel at work every day and to accomplish my set goals through the years. I have received awards within Stony Brook and nationally for my clinical and education work. The most fulfilling value that I receive from my work is the opportunity to collaborate with many wonderful people and the lasting relationships that I develop with my mentors, my mentees, my team and my patients.
