She completed her neurology residency at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio in 2020 where she was a co-investigator in a pilot multi-site clinical trial that compared the effects of distinct types of exercise on non-motor symptoms of Parkinson disease.  She was also appointed academic chief which enabled her to make curriculum innovations that received positive feedback from peers. This included OSCE simulations of emergent neurological cases and online learning activities for neurology residents who could not gather for traditional didactics due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
