She is the director of the NIH-EPA funded BREATHE Center (Bridging Research, Lung Health and the Environment) and has over 150 peer-reviewed publications. She received the David M. Levine Excellence in Mentoring Award due to her commitment to training future physician-scientists.

She has served as the assistant director for research for the pulmonary division and serves as associate dean for research for Johns Hopkins Medicine and chair of the Johns Hopkins Bayview Scientific Advisory Board. She has excelled as an investigator and mentor, and proven to be an asset to the division, the department and all of Johns Hopkins Medicine. I look forward to her continued leadership and have high hopes for the future of the division in her hands.
