Background

I grew up in the Bay Area in California and moved around the country for education and training. I spent some time in upstate New York while attending Cornell for college, then went to medical school at Duke in North Carolina. I moved back to the West Coast for residency at UW and am excited to stay for fellowship. I am interested in general and heart failure cardiology as well as health services research and quality improvement. In my free time, I enjoy hiking various trails in Washington, reading fiction novels, and exploring restaurants.
