I am an epidemiologist focused on the health and quality of life of individuals with congenital heart disease. My work integrates clinical epidemiology with qualitative and mixed-method approaches to understand the unique needs of this population and improve their health and wellbeing throughout their life through engagement with the healthcare system.
