I am a T32 Cardiovascular Medicine Fellow with a passion for heart disease prevention and public health research. I am interested in several aspects of primary prevention, including lipids, diet, and physical activity. My current projects focus on lipoprotein(a) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk.
