Bio

I am an associate professor of pediatrics and emergency medicine at the Emory University School of Medicine. I work in the emergency department and outpatient sedation training pediatric emergency medicine, critical care, and hospital medicine fellows, as well as pediatric, family and emergency medicine residents. My research focus is sedation for pediatric imaging, sedation of children with autism spectrum disorder, and sedation education. I am the site co-principal investigator for the Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network’s (PECARN) Efficacy of Intravenous Sub-Dissociative Ketamine Versus Intravenous Morphine in Children with Acute Pain: The Morphine or Ketamine for Analgesia Study (MoKA). I have previously mentored residents and fellows on sedation and emergency medicine-focused research that has led to numerous national conference presentations and publications. I am the co-chair of the PECARN analgesia and sedation work group and the vice-chair for the research committee for the Society for Pediatric Sedation (SPS). I am the site principal investigator for Standardizing All Fellowship Education in Pediatric Procedural Sedation (SAFE-PPS), a SPS-sponsored pediatric procedural sedation fellowship curriculum development project. I am actively involved as a fellow of The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) and The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). I serve on the board of directors for SPS, am the SPS liaison to Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS), and serve on the planning committee for the 2025 PAS conference. I am the SPS representative to ACEP and am revising the Unscheduled Procedural Sedation and Analgesia Guideline. I am the course director for the SPS sedation provider course for the 2025 PAS conference and 2025 SPS conference.
