As a pediatric epidemiologist, my long-term goal is to advance our understanding of the genetic causes and outcomes associated with congenital heart disease (CHD) to ultimately generate clinically informative prognostication tools and screening strategies for affected children and families. My research focuses on health outcomes among children with cardiovascular and genetic disorders, with a specific focus on structural cardiac defects, hereditary arrhythmia disease, and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. I bring expertise in epidemiology and biostatistics, building on prior applications to large-scale studies evaluating the clinical and genetic epidemiology of CHD. My scientific work is grounded in collaborative efforts at the city, state, and national levels, including partnerships with experts the Texas Medical Center, public health agencies, and hospitals across the United States. These collaborations have enabled me to contribute to epidemiologic investigations that may inform both clinical practice and public health guidelines, including both population-based investigations of all CHD and rare diseases.
