About me
I am a board-certified pediatrician and an Adjunct Professor of Pediatrics at Rush University. I am a Forbes Contributor, a writer at Psychology Today, and a TEDx speaker.
My undergraduate degree was in History from Princeton University, where I studied Ideological and Cultural History. I obtained my M.D. from Robert Wood Johnson Medical School at Rutgers University. My pediatric residency training was at Duke University and the University of Chicago. I am a former Clinical Instructor in Pediatrics at Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine.
three topics of focus :
number
one
ffective action under pressure. Using neuroscience-based techniques for optimal performance.
number
two
Parenting. I have developed a clear 3-step methods to help parents raise kids skillfully AND enjoy doing it.
number
three
Wellness and Burnout. Instead of adding more apps and tricks, we can become leaders from the center of our own lives.
What makes me stand out:
My work is all about effective action under pressure. We live in a culture of criticism and anxiety I call the ShouldStorm. I relieve the burdens of parents and professionals while inspiring a new approach. I am a TEDx Speaker and a Writer. My expertise draws from multiple disciplines, including pediatric medicine, human development, ideological history, and cultural interpretation. And, I’m great on camera!
