I am a lifelong Buffalonian currently residing in East Aurora, New York. I enjoy online teaching and adaptive teaching to meet the needs of my students who have big dreams and lots to do. I am a passionate researcher and have committed my life's work to bringing awareness and better screening protocols and treatments to the monochorionic-diamniotic twin population.
