My Story
I’m a board-certified neurologist, founder & CEO of Mama Bird, and brain activist. I’m also the mom of two amazing kids, including a pre-professional ballerina and a son with Down Syndrome. From my time as a clinical neurologist to my role as a mom focused on helping her children’s brain development, I’ve come to realize that the discourse on brain health is often led by—and focused on— men. And too often, our complaints are written off by a medical system that can be dismissive of women’s legitimate health concerns. I think it’s about time that we change that.
From global conferences to intimate workshops, I deliver talks that spark aha-moments, shift perspectives, and inspire change.
