I graduated from the University of the West Indies in Trinidad and Tobago, where I was born and raised. I completed my Internal Medicine residency and served as Chief Resident at SUNY Downstate in Brooklyn, followed by a General Cardiology fellowship at UMass Chan Baystate Medical Center in western Massachusetts. My clinical interests include complex coronary disease, hemodynamics, and mechanical circulatory support devices. Outside of work, I enjoy staying active through working out, hiking, and playing soccer.
I graduated from University of Medical Sciences and Technology in Khartoum, Sudan. Went to Washington DC for residency at George Washington University and spent some time teaching MD-PhD students between Harvard and MIT. I am interested in Interventional Cardiology with focus in mechanical support after Anterior MI and biomarkers in Acute Coronary Syndrome and Heart failure. I enjoy exploring the world of Artificial Intelligence and technology in clinical practice. During my spare time I enjoy playing soccer, hiking, kayaking, snowboarding and playing tennis. I am a Real Madrid fan.
