She moved to the University of Michigan in 1990 where she headed the pediatric neurosurgery service from 1995.[9] She became a professor in 2003.[4] During her time teaching, among her neurosurgical students was Sanjay Gupta.[10] In 2005 she became chair of the Department of Neurosurgery,[9] in the proces becoming the first woman to chair a neurosurgery department in the United States.[2][4]

She is the medical director of "Project Shunt", the neurosurgery component of an annual medical mission by the Michigan, Ohio, chapter of the medical charity "Healing the Children" to Guatemala, which has one of the highest incidences of spina bifida in the world.[11] She began leading the mission at the University of Michigan in 1998, leading a team of surgeons, residents and nurses in Guatemala City.[4]
