Abhi grew up in Dallas, Texas. Under the Health Science Scholars Honors Program at The University of Texas at Austin, she received her B.S.A. degree in Neuroscience with a minor in Ethics in Healthcare. She first discovered her passion for working with children with intellectual and developmental disabilities early in high school, and further developed this interest at the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine, where she earned her D.O. degree. It didn’t take long for her to realize that Child Neurology was the right path for her to continue growing this passion. She is excited about developing this passion into a career in Epilepsy.

In her free time, she loves to travel to different countries and experience the wide array of cultures and food that there is to explore. To continue her passion for dance, she has been taking salsa classes recently. She can't wait to continue exploring Nashville and all that it has to offer!

Miles was born in the suburbs of Chicago and moved to Dallas at the age of seven. From an early age, he was interested in playing Xbox and watching SpongeBob. He attended college at Southern Methodist University, where he majored in Biology. He then attended medical school at the University of North Texas Health Science Center. While in medical school, he developed an interest in pediatric neurology and child development after spending time with some of the wonderful physicians at Cook Children's Medical Center. He is proud to be a resident in the Vanderbilt child neurology program.

Outside of medicine, Miles is a classical music fanatic. He especially likes the music of Mahler, Berlioz, and (if he has 2 hours to kill) Bruckner. He is also a barbecue enthusiast and holds the honor of being the world's most mediocre tuba player.

Eric is a born and raised Cincinnatian. He specifically is interested in neuro critical care and wants to work with kids and adults with a special interest in neuro monitoring. He enjoys rock climbing, running, and biking in his free time and has enjoyed continuing those hobbies, as well as discovering new ones, while at Vanderbilt!
