Research & Clinical Interests
My main research interests are related to the reproductive health of medically complex and special needs patients. I am particularly interested in non-contraceptive uses of intrauterine devices (IUDs) in adolescents and have published multiple articles on these subjects. I see patients in a multidisciplinary gender clinic and am very clinically interested in this population. I have current grant funding to study the impact of menses and menstrual management in transgender and gender non-binary adolescents. I am also dedicated to improving the accuracy and timeliness of the management of patients with possible adnexal torsion. I have published a study on the clinical and radiologic predictors of torsion among both premenarchal and menarchal females and the creation of a composite score. I am currently working on a study to apply this previously-developed score to a larger patient population to help validate it as a diagnostic tool.
