I am a pediatric critical care physician who has built my career caring for the sickest children at their most vulnerable moments, and that frontline experience transformed how I think about dignity, identity, and healing. What began as bedside advocacy evolved into leading innovation in the hair equity space, ensuring children of all textures and backgrounds feel seen and cared for in hospital settings. This work has been featured on Good Morning America and in Essence, and it ultimately inspired my children’s book, The Magic Bonnet: Zoe’s Hospital Adventure, now available on Amazon. The book is more than a story—it is representation, courage, and affirmation woven into a narrative that reminds children they belong everywhere, even in difficult spaces.

Beyond the hospital and the page, I am the co-founder of Tone & Texture Aesthetics & Wellness in Chicago, a physician-led medspa that I view as an extension of my work in the ICU. It allows me to serve across the full spectrum of care, from critical illness to intentional wellness, offering expert guidance that supports confidence and whole-person well-being. This dual perspective shapes my approach to health and beauty, grounded in science, compassion, and a deep belief in representation, advocacy, and empowered self-care.
