I am a senior genetic counselor at the General Genetics division at Columbia University with 11 years of experience in clinical practice, research and education. I specialize in the care of patients with inherited cardiomyopathies, connective tissue disorders and skeletal dysplasias. I am the lead coordinator of the Congenital Anomalies Research Exploration (CARE), an NIH-funded study that investigates genomic factors contributing to the formation of various birth defects, currently focusing on tracheoesophageal defects.
