- I am an assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Texas in San Antonio. I am currently engaged in detection and management of fetuses with congenital heart disease and continue to care for them during their hospital stay and subsequent visits.
- I graduated with honors from medical school at the Universidad Autonoma de Ciudad Juarez in 2010. I then became an invited scholar and research associate at the University of California in San Francisco from 2012-2013. I completed my pediatric internship and residency at Texas Tech in El Paso, Texas, in 2016 and my fellowship in pediatric cardiology at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, in 2019. In 2019, I also received extra training in fetal echocardiography at the Children's Hospital in Los Angeles.
- I am leading a co-joint project with University Hospital to develop a fetal cardiology center of excellence. This collaboration has provided me with the unique opportunity to improve prenatal diagnosis for fetuses with critical heart lesions in the region and improve the neurodevelopmental outcomes in this population.
- My current research interests include cardiomyopathy seen in sickle cell disease, ethics in fetal cardiology and improving congenital heart disease prenatal detection in underserved regions. I am also involved in work to develop a teaching application in fetal echocardiography with the goal of increasing the prenatal detection of congenital heart disease.
