  • Biography

    I am very excited to be in Dallas and be a part of the wonderful team, starting as an inpatient Cardiologist. I grew up in the northeast, finished my Cardiology training at Children’s Hospital of New Orleans. Following that I worked at Seattle Children’s hospital as a cardiac ICU hospitalist when I gained interest in doing clinical and quality improvement projects. I look forward to building protocols and surveillance projects at Dallas Children’s that help bring a positive change in quality of inpatient care.

    Outside of work, I love traveling to see family and friends who are scattered around the globe. Living in the west coast, I have discovered my love for the outdoors, hiking and biking. I also enjoy cooking.
