- I received my medical degree from University of Mississippi School of Medicine and trained in pediatrics at UTMB-Galveston and SUNY Buffalo where I completed my neonatology fellowship.
- I have received numerous awards for advocacy on behalf of newborns, children and families. I helped pass legislation mandating lifesaving newborn screening for congenital heart disease in Texas.
- I co-led, with Dr. Charleta Guillory, the Texas Pulse Oximetry Project (TXPOP), providing training and a toolkit of resources used statewide for CCHD screening. I received the American Academy of Pediatrics’ Special Achievement Award in 2014 for my efforts.
- Other past awards include:
- 2020 Graduate School of Biomedical Science mentor of the year award
- 2018 Sidney Kaliski Award
- 2017 Health Care Hero from San Antonio Business Journal
