At Tufts Medical Center, our cardiology fellowship attracts a diverse and talented group of physicians dedicated to advancing cardiovascular care. Our fellows engage in rigorous clinical training, cutting-edge research and collaborative learning that prepares them for successful careers across a range of cardiology specialties.
I was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. I attended LSU for my undergraduate degree, graduated from LSU School of Medicine in New Orleans, and then completed my residency training at LSU as well. I worked in New Orleans as a cardiac hospitalist for a transplant cardiology team and LVAD program for one year before coming to BIDMC. My interests in cardiology are early detection and preventative management of right ventricular failure, as well as remote hemodynamic monitoring. When I have free time outside of the hospital, you can find me taking Sugar (my Shiba Inu) out for walks in the city, playing pickleball, soccer, weight lifting, jazz music, and spicy food challenges.
I grew up in central Maine before attending The University of New England for medical school. Internal medicine residency was completed at Albany Medical Center in upstate New York and cardiology fellowship at the University of Missouri. I am interested in all flavors of cardiomyopathy and advanced heart failure. When not in the hospital I enjoy strength athletics, trying new restaurants and Boston sports.
I was born in Swat, Pakistan, and currently reside in Dedham, MA. I earned my medical degree from Khyber Medical College and completed my Internal Medicine residency at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. My clinical interests include cardiac amyloidosis and advanced heart failure. Outside of medicine, I enjoy spending time with my family, watching sports, and exploring new recipes in the kitchen.
