About

Biography

I am a fellow in pediatric cardiology and clinical informatics. My clinical and research interests include pediatric cardiology, advanced cardiac imaging, outcomes research and clinical informatics. I am particularly interested in using large clinical and administrative datasets to answer clinically meaningful questions and improve care for children with cardiovascular disease.

My research focuses on leveraging large-scale data to study patient outcomes, identify predictors of risk, evaluate differences in diagnostic and treatment strategies, and uncover opportunities to improve quality of care. I am also interested in using these data to examine broader patterns in cardiovascular care, including changes in imaging and treatment practices over time, healthcare disparities and geographic access to specialty care.

As I build my career, I hope to bridge pediatric cardiology, clinical informatics and outcomes research by translating large and complex datasets into evidence that can inform clinical decision-making, improve patient outcomes and strengthen the healthcare systems that support children and families.
