About

I am a board certified and nationally recognized pediatric cardiologist (preventive cardiology) who specializes in the management of youth with risk factors for premature cardiovascular disease (CVD), including obesity, systemic hypertension, and dyslipidemia. I currently serve as Director of Pediatric Preventive Cardiology at Nemours Childrenโ€™s Health Delaware. My research interests include use of mathematics models for predicting CVD risk factor development, preventive cardiology care, dietary intervention strategies for management of dyslipidemia and identification of barriers to health equity.
