Hey everyone! My name is Denesh and I am a 2nd year Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine Fellow alongside Jeremy. I’m from Melbourne, Australia, and grew up in New Zealand, Vermont, and Missouri. I went to Medical School and completed my Preliminary Internal Medicine Year at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine. I completed my PM&R residency at the Rehabilitation Institute of Michigan (Detroit Medical Center/Wayne State University). I chose Children’s Colorado for the incredible opportunities to see patients from all over Colorado and 6 neighboring states, nationally, and internationally and learn to provide care regardless of zip code and socioeconomic status; for the amazing procedural opportunities; for the exposure to diverse PM&R and multidisciplinary outpatient clinics, for the well-rounded inpatient and consult PM&R services, and for the diverse faculty, fellows, combined Peds-PM&R residents, PM&R residents, and interdisciplinary team that were all unbelievably welcoming and made me feel like I was already part of the team during my virtual interview process. 

Fun Fact: I am an avid cross-country runner, savor at the opportunity to cook new recipes and eat different cultural cuisines, fond of any literature by Fredrik Backman, enjoy musical theatre and movies, and am a Liverpool FC, New Zealand All Blacks Rugby, and Kansas City Chiefs fan. 

Hi! I'm Erin. I've always been passionate about how the wires and cables that make up our bodies manifest the watercolor of daily life. PM&R has always celebrated that concept and helped to restore or improve it for people in their day to day. Peds Rehab took it another level when functional goals included playing, learning, and just being silly! I was entranced from the moment I stepped into the rehab unit in Atlanta. My mentors in Atlanta had endless good things to say about Colorado's Peds Rehab program, and my husband Cody, who is in the Air Force, got stationed at the Buckley Air Force Base. I am not exaggerating when I say it is a real dream come true to be in Colorado for the depth of expertise of the faculty, and quality of Peds Rehab training, and that both of our career paths landed us in the same place, after being long distance for my 4 years of residency.

Fun Fact: Outside of work, I spend most of my free time training for the sport of Olympic Weightlifting. I'm entirely too tall to ever be a candidate for the real Olympics, but I've been lucky enough to compete on a national stage!

Hi everyone! I am so excited to begin my fellowship at Children's Hospital Colorado! I was born and raised in San Luis Obispo, California and attended Dartmouth for college where I majored in Neuroscience. I went to medical school at Touro University in California and residency at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab. I chose Colorado because I truly enjoyed my virtual interview day getting to know all of the Peds Rehab faculty and fellows. I was impressed by the number of multidisciplinary clinics, educational opportunities for the fellows, and the dedication of the faculty to our learning and wellness. The breadth of pathology, in addition to the rural clinics, was another draw for me. I know that I will leave fellowship feeling comfortable managing any kiddo who walks in my office door! And lastly, PRM at Colorado seems like a family, and I was looking for a fellowship with that type of camaraderie. 

Fun Fact: I was a long and triple jumper in college, but since then, I've become more of a long-distance runner. I completed my first half marathon in 2022 and would someday like to run a full marathon!
