She provides institutional leadership in the development and implementation of mental and behavioral health quality and safety initiatives and measures related healthcare outcomes across the enterprise. She has conducted studies on pediatric suicidal and aggressive behaviors, and mental health boarding, and developed interventions to improve access to care and outcomes for children and adolescents experiencing mental health crises.
