About

Biography

I’m a clinical fellow specializing in pediatric cardiology and focusing on heart failure, transplants and mechanical assist devices. I am deeply passionate about caring for critically ill children, particularly those with cardiomyopathy and congenital heart disease. My care approach includes fostering collaboration and teamwork—recognizing that the best patient outcomes result from multidisciplinary efforts.

As I continue to expand my knowledge in this specialized field, I’m dedicated to advancing our understanding and treatment of these complex conditions. My research interests include transplant immunology and improving transplant rejection surveillance and management strategies.

When I’m not at work, I enjoy exploring new places and spending time outdoors with my husband and our two mastiffs.
