Research Interests: I am interested in cardiac research. My current project focuses on cardiac protein modifications during a chronic state of decreased contractility.

About me: In my free time, I play with my two cats and my beagle/jack russel terrier named Macgyver. Nothing like fuzzy pets to make medical school seem a little easier! I also enjoy volunteering at Rocky River Stables as part of their therapeutic riding program.
