Bio
Upon completing my undergraduate degree in chemistry, MS in biology, and medical degree all from Indiana University, and I went through pediatrics residency and pediatric cardiology fellowship at Washington University in St. Louis/St. Louis Children's Hospital. I then completed a fellowship in pediatric intensive care here at Stanford University. Currently, I am a Clinical Associate Professor and pediatric cardiac intensivist at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford. My research focus is on clinical outcomes in children with heart disease , focusing on immune signatures and perturbations in various stages of heart failure and after surgical trauma. I am also committed to mental health outcomes in children and families with heart disease, as well as the clinical practice of providing appropriate palliative and quality of life care for these patients.
