Cherokee Nation Citizen. Oklahoman. PhD. I do research so I can advocate for tiny humans to have a better life.
🚨 New Publication Alert! 🚨
Proud to share our latest work in the Journal of Emergency Medicine. This case study underscores how subtle oral injuries—like swelling under the tongue—can be early signs of abuse, especially in non-mobile infants.

I was honored to get to present alongside Dr. Walter at this year’s Rare Disease Summit hosted by the Cherokee Nation. I’m so proud to be part of this community and so grateful to get a chance to advocate for Indigenous children living with cystic fibrosis in our community.

I was recently honored to receive one of four exemplary poster awards at OU-Tulsa’s REACH-OUT. I was excited to get to share some of my dissertation findings! As an added bonus Dr. Caroline Thompson’s poster that I was a coauthor on also won one of the awards)! #research #ᴛʜʀᴏᴡʙᴀᴄᴋᴛʜᴜʀsᴅᴀʏ

Hey Guys — I emerged from the depths of my dissertation and realized everyone had moved here. Trying to find all my Oklahomies — p.s. I’m a doctor now (p.s.s. not the kind that can help in a medical crisis but if you have an existential one I’m your girl!)
