She grew up in the metropolitan Manila area (Philippines) and obtained both her undergraduate and medical school studies at the University of the Philippines. She became a postdoctoral research fellow in cardiology at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN before obtaining her pediatric residency at Children’s Hospital Wisconsin in Milwaukee, WI. She went back to Vanderbilt for her pediatric cardiology fellowship followed by an additional year of non-invasive cardiology fellowship at Riley Children’s Hospital in Indianapolis, IN. After fellowship, she joined the Pediatric Cardiology Division of Children’s Hospital Michigan in Detroit, MI where she collaborated in several research studies in postoperative outcomes and cardiac function in chronically paced patients. In 2003, she joined the faculty at UMass Medical School in Worcester, MA before the group transitioned into private practice (Child Heart Associates) with several clinic sites in central MA and Cape Cod. Her clinical interests include pre- and post-natal echocardiographic assessment of congenital and acquired pediatric heart disease, non-invasive pediatric arrhythmia, cardiomyopathy, autonomic dysfunction and preventive cardiology.
