Clinical Interests
I have spent 12+ years caring for patients with a Heart Transplant or Cardiomyopathy/Heart Failure. The relationships I develop with families fills my soul. Heart transplantation can be a challenging and rewarding journey, I am here to help you and your child throughout their life. It is very gratifying to see patients grow up and achieve incredible milestones. Successful transition to adulthood is important to me.

Care Philosophy
I believe family centered care provides the best quality of life for heart transplant patients and their families. Less is more when it comes to procedures and medications, I will try to limit these as much as possible. Returning to normal life activities is one of our top priorities. Knowledge is empowering, patient education is one of my passions.
