Professional History
I have been practicing clinical cardiology since 1998. Beyond my love for patient care, my interests are in strengthening collaborations, studying patient outcomes, exercise physiology, and physical activity promotion.
Approach to Care
I entered medicine to work with and be inspired by children in need, and my overarching professional goal is to help them thrive and reach their optimum potential.
