Clinical Interests
Imaging determinants of myocardial function, complex congenital heart disease, coronary artery abnormalities, sports cardiology, imaging of premature and fetal myocardial mechanics
Care Philosophy
I am privileged to care for children and firmly believe that in all circumstances, the patient's welfare comes first
Personal Interests
I like to hike and aspire to be an Angel Ranger one day. I practice kettle bells and lifting, as well as kickboxing. I also like to cook, which spurs my need to be active. My most memorable trek was in the Himalayas to the Annapurna Sanctuary.
Volunteer Activities
I have volunteered on cardiac missions in Ecuador, at home in the food banks, and I have cooked in large kitchens in homeless shelters. I stocked food and clothing for the Matthew 25 Ministries. I have volunteered on the Navajo reservations in New Mexico.
Public Speaking Yes
I have spoken in the past about sports cardiology-related subjects. I am interested in myocardial function and remodeling.
