Dr. Nune grew up in the Washington, DC area, where she received a B.S. in Interdisciplinary Sciences with a subspeciality in Quantitative Neuroscience at the University of Maryland. This degree combined courses in neuroscience, psychology, philosophy and alternative medicine which was the catalyst to study clinical medicine. She attended American University of Antigua School of Medicine where she graduated Summa Cum Laude.

After medical school, she matched into Pediatric Residency at Akron Children’s Hospital in Akron, Ohio, where she encountered many children with neurological conditions which motivated her to pursue a fellowship in Pediatric Neurology. Dr. Nune continued training in a Pediatric Neurology Fellowship at University of Tennessee, Memphis at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital. She directly witnessed how effective sleep improved baseline neurological disorders and quality of life for patients and their families.

After completing a fellowship in Pediatric Neurology, she was accepted into a Sleep Medicine Fellowship at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. During this fellowship, she specialized in pediatric and adult sleep; however this spurred her interest in infants, children and adolescents transitioning to adulthood, as well as neurodevelopmentally delayed individuals. Dr. Nune then rotated at the NIMH in Department of Sleep and Neurodevelopment where she helped in various projects involving autism and sleep disorders.

She currently is an Assistant Professor of Pediatric Neurology and Sleep Medicine at Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital. During her time there, she started a Pediatric Comprehensive Sleep Clinic with a robust psychology and sleep medicine team.

In academia, Dr. Nune has been instrumental in sleep advocacy through research, resident teaching, academic lectures and is also a published researcher. She continues to want to grow the field of sleep medicine and wishes to improve quality of life through family and patient centered care.

In her spare time Dr. Nune loves to travel, hike, and enjoys the beach. She is an avid cook and enjoys volunteering and making people laugh.
