Careers

When I first decided to do a cardiology fellowship, I planned to become a physician, scientist and teacher. I was fascinated by cardiovascular physical diagnosis, physiology and molecular biology. As a practicing cardiologist, I have enjoyed managing complex coronary artery disease and peripheral vascular disease.
