Cardiovascular Medicine As someone from an underrepresented minority (URM), I want to give back to my community and ensure their voice is heard. I have been motivated by doing work that helps improve visibility and access to resources for URMs in research. One of the efforts I’m proudest of is launching BlackInCardio and celebrating black scientists in the cardiovascular field around the world. At Stanford, I’m particularly proud of the recommendations for recruiting and improving retention of URMs at all levels, particularly at the postdoc level, in the department of pediatrics through my contributions in the recruitment team of SPAARC. I'm looking forward to continuing studying the genetics of cardiovascular diseases in URMs through my research and highlighting the work of black scientists in BlackinCardio.
