I was born in Italy and completed my medical training in Massachusetts. During my career as a primary care pediatrician I was involved in several funded projects at a local and national level to improve, expand and coordinate pediatric services in primary care. My areas of focus were patient-centered care, asthma, learning disabilities and pediatric oral health. I bring my passion for patient-centered care and care coordination to my work in the newborn nursery as well. My main interests are antibiotic use stewardship, and  care coordination for babies with complex social and medical needs.
