As an academic pediatric cardiologist, I am interested in optimizing outcomes for all children with cardiovascular disease. My research program ranges from preventive cardiology – where we evaluate and promote physical activity in children with congenital and non-congenital cardiovascular disease – to interventional pediatric cardiology – where we are interested in optimizing outcomes of interventional cardiac catheterizations and pediatric cardiac surgery.

I currently serve as President of the Canadian Pediatric Cardiology Association and am also a member of the Canadian Hypertension Education Program, where I lead the development of the inaugural Guidelines for Blood Pressure Measurement, Diagnosis, and Assessment of Risk of Pediatric Hypertension.
