I am a neurologist specializing in Movement Disorders and Clinical Neurophysiology. Originally from Lima, Peru, I earned my medical degree from Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos. After graduating from medical school, I moved to the United States to continue my clinical and research training. I completed a Neuroimaging Research Fellowship at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, followed by a Neurology residency and fellowships in Movement Disorders and Clinical Neurophysiology at the University of Rochester. In July 2024, I joined LSU Health Shreveport as an Assistant Professor and Director of the Movement Disorders Program, where we are working to build a comprehensive, multidisciplinary program. My clinical practice focuses on the care of individuals with movement disorders, including advanced therapies such as deep brain stimulation and botulinum toxin injections. My research interests include studying genetic contributors to Parkinson’s disease (PD), optimizing hospital care for people with PD, leveraging digital technologies to enhance clinical monitoring and therapeutic development, and implementing initiatives that promote health equity in neurology.
