I am a pediatric neurosurgeon in the Department of Neurosurgery at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. I completed my residency training in neurological surgery at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and my fellowship in pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital. In my research in Zambia, I study a broad range of pediatric neurosurgical conditions, with a special emphasis on pediatric hydrocephalus and spina bifida.
