I have had an interest in autism spectrum disorder, its causes and best forms of treatment since my psychiatry residency.  Currently I am a member of Dr Strathearn's Attachment and Neurodevelopmental Lab at the Center for Disabilities and Development and function in recruitment, lab meetings, scheduling and as a liaison between the lab and the clinic.  I serve as the Nurse Clinician at the CDD and have an AANC certification as a Developmental Disabilities Nurse.
