Q: What made you decide to become a pediatric cardiologist?
A: Because of my childhood experiences with hospitalization for asthma, I knew from a young age that I wanted to become a physician, likely a pediatrician. When I was in medical school, I became fascinated with cardiovascular physiology and later with the nuances of this in pediatric cardiology. No two patients are alike and the combination of high acuity care and working with children, the varied anatomy and physiology meant this was the field for me!
