Megan Aylor

Megan is a native of the Pacific Northwest and completed medical school at OHSU. She ventured to the east coast for residency training, followed by a chief year, at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. She was delighted to return to OHSU as a pediatric hospitalist and medical educator. Megan has an interest in patient safety, team communication, and quality improvement, and worked for many years as an APD and medical director before taking on the PD role. Megan loves being a pediatric residency program director, as she finds working with pediatric trainees and being part of their professional development rewarding beyond measure. 

When not at work, Megan loves dancing, hiking the beautiful Pacific Northwest trails, traveling, eating good food, and playing games with her husband and two daughters.

Sarah Green

Sarah is an Oregon native and a graduate of OHSU medical school and our beloved residency program. She spent a year as chief before joining the pediatric hospitalists and becoming an associate program director for the Pediatric Residency Program.

Sarah loves the teamwork that comes with taking care of patients with students and residents, and is committed to making all feel included. She has been known to inadvertently delay rounds while socializing with all the friendly faces on the wards and does her best to teach while taking thoughtful care of children and their families. Her role as associate program director is a wonderful complement, allowing her to have input on resident education as well as the opportunity to support and coach an incredible group of smart, kind, hard-working humans. She is the chair of the Residency Competency Committee, which works to ensure that every resident is successful. She is grateful for her feisty and dedicated colleagues and can assure you there has never been a boring team meeting!

Sarah loves being a mom to kids ranging in age 2 (and 1/2, she will insist!)-22 years and is happiest when she and her husband can corral all 4 for a trip, a hike or even just dinner!  She attempts to garden with her littlest kids, falls asleep reading fiction on the regular, chases after scooters and bikes like a pro, and really appreciates good coffee.

Devlynne “Sasha” Ondusko

Sasha joined the faculty as a Neonatologist at OHSU in 2022 and joined the residency leadership as an associate program director for the pediatric residency in 2023. She first moved to America for medical school, after completing her undergraduate degree in Nursing in Ontario, Canada. She completed medical school in Milwaukee, WI, and moved out to Portland for residency and fell in love with the PNW. Sasha’s scholarship focuses on health equity specifically identifying disparities (secondary to the social construct of race, rurality and resource deprivation, and language discordance), understanding their driving forces, and working to mitigate these disparities.

Sasha grew up in a few different countries but now calls Portland home. She’s is an avid runner, biker, and snowboarder and spends most of her non-clinical/non-scholarship time outside with her wife, Megan, and 85lb poodle, Indie.

Beth Torwekar

Beth is a pediatric hospitalist at OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital and joined the residency leadership team as an Associate Program Director in 2025. Originally from the East Coast, she attended medical school at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth. Residency and chief residency at UCSF brought her west—and she’s now firmly rooted in the Pacific Northwest. Before joining Doernbecher, she spent six years as a hospitalist and pediatric education director at Randall Children’s Hospital, working closely with learners from across the region.

Beth finds real joy in clinical teaching and is especially excited to support curriculum development in her new role. Whether on service or teaching classrooms or workshops, she learns from residents every day and feels lucky to be part of their journey.

Outside the hospital, Beth enjoys endurance sports like marathons and triathlons—though these days, chasing her two young sons and two spirited dogs is the biggest endurance event of all. She and her partner spend a lot of time exploring the trails of Southwest Portland and Council Crest Park as a family.

Melissa Weddle

Melissa has been faculty at OHSU since 2010, serving as continuity clinic director and associate pediatric program director. She is an East Coast transplant who grew up in Virginia and has practiced in Maryland, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Washington prior to coming to OHSU. She has worked in varied primary care settings, including federally qualified health centers, private practice, and an academic clinic. At OHSU, Melissa has embraced the opportunities for scholarship and education in ethics, compassionate communication, and adolescent health. Opportunities to teach both within and outside the clinical setting, continually learn from those around her, and listen to residents and colleagues to figure out how to make our program ever better are what make her job rewarding.  

Melissa has a writer-scientist-teacher husband and two grown-up children who live too far away. Outside of medicine, she loves movies with subtitles, food with spice, and hikes with views. She is a dog person. And a cat person.

Michael Grubbs, Pediatric Residency Program Technician

Mike was born and raised in Seattle, Washington, and moved to Portland for college, where he earned a degree in theology. After graduation, he got married and moved across the country to live in Big Apple (NYC). It was there that he started working in GME, as the fellowship coordinator for the Gastroenterology Fellowship Program at the Mount Sinai Beth Israel Medical Center. After eight years of long daily commuting and having two wonderful children, Mike and his family moved back to the great Pacific Northwest where the air is fresh and clean. In 2015, he was hired at OHSU as the program coordinator for the Pediatric Residency Program. It is here that he found true happiness working with all the wonderful residents and caring program staff. In his current role as residency program technician, Mike enjoys taking care of the day-to-day operations of the program, and always makes sure the resident lounge is supplied with tasty snacks.  

Mike now live across the river in Vancouver, Washington, with his wife Julie, son Nolan (age 10) and daughter Lily (age 6). Outside of work, he loves spending time with his children in the outdoors, making fresh sourdough bread with his wife, and raising chickens (he has recently started bartering eggs for coffee beans!!).

Dakota Crocker

Dakota grew up in rural Southern Idaho and made his way to Portland after medical school at the University of Utah to join OHSU for Pediatrics Residency. In Portland, he’s found amazing friends, colleagues, and of course plenty of good food. Outside the hospital, you’ll often spot him cheering on the Portland Pickles, paddle boarding (sometimes with a fly rod in hand), or making his way through the city’s endless food trucks.

This year he’s excited to serve as a chief resident alongside Cristian and Ashley, with clinical time on the hospitalist service, in clinic, and in the PICU. He’s especially passionate about making sure residents feel supported and enjoy their time wherever they are.

At home, Dakota loves trying new adventures with his partner (an IM resident at OHSU) and spoiling their cat, Yue. If you stumble across something fun—no matter how quirky—he’s always game to join in!

Cristian Cruz

Cristian is a born and raised Texan (hook 'em!) who completed medical school at McGovern Medical School. He spent most of his medical school experience working on various advocacy projects at the local and national level, which drew him to OHSU. He most enjoyed the opportunities to form meaningful connections with co-residents, patients, families, and faculty that made OHSU a rewarding place to work! Not to mention, the weekly farmer's market is a great place to wind down during the workday.

He is very excited to work with residents as one of the chief residents this year along with his residency twin, Dakota and equally brilliant friend and desk mate, Ashley. His clinical interests are mostly in neonatal care and health disparities with experience in research with our wonderful NICH program. He is excited to work in the mother baby unit and NICU this year in addition to the general pediatrics clinic.

When not at the hospital, he enjoys perusing one of Portland's many independent shops, spoiling his cat - Remy,  catching a movie, and enjoying the great PNW outdoors with his friends, cat, and partner.

Ashley Stone

Ashley grew up in Southern California and completed her undergraduate studies in Psychology and Human Health at the University of California, San Diego. Before attending medical school at the University of California, Riverside, she served as an AmeriCorps member, teaching high school and deepening her passion for education and community service.

Drawn to the Pacific Northwest for its beauty, Ashley was excited to join Oregon Health & Science University for her pediatric residency and is honored to serve as a Chief Resident this year. Clinically, she will be spending her time in the newborn nursery and on the hospitalist service, with plans to pursue a career in pediatric hospital medicine. As Chief, Ashley is dedicated to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment that encourages learning, growth, and connection among residents and students.

Outside of medicine, Ashley enjoys spending time with her husband, baby, their two cats (Mowgli and Nala), and dog, Lainey. She can often be found enjoying a picnic in the park, picking up a treat from Lauretta Jean’s, cheering at a Thorns game, or exploring Portland’s outdoor spaces with her family. She is a devoted tea enthusiast and a lifelong Disney fan.
