Biography

I specialize in providing cardiac critical care for infants, children, and adults with congenital heart disease and heart failure. As the Associate Director of the Pulmonary Artery Reconstruction Program at Stanford, I help coordinate comprehensive multidisciplinary care for children with severe pulmonary artery abnormalities and right ventricular dysfunction. I was a Faculty Fellow at the Stanford Center for Biodesign during the 2019-2020 academic year, focusing on the development of new technologies to address unmet needs in pediatric patients. Additionally, I have an interest in physician wellness and have completed a Wellness Director course through the WellMD Center at Stanford. My clinical focus is on Pediatric Critical Care Medicine, and through my academic appointments and training, I am dedicated to advancing the field of pediatrics and improving patient outcomes.
