I am deeply honored and proud to have delivered two oral presentations at AHA 2025, sharing our work with international leaders in cardiovascular medicine and contributing to the growing body of evidence that informs clinical practice and improves patient care. I am also grateful to have presented posters and participated in a moderated session, where the conversations with peers and faculty were both engaging and thought-provoking, further fueling my excitement for the future of our work in cardiology. #AHA2025 also gave me the opportunity to meet new collaborators, reconnect with former colleagues and mentors, and I am truly excited about the future as I build on these relationships. I am especially grateful to my program @ImWvu, and Mentors @Lakshmi14524052 @harshi_md for their continuous support. #AHA25 #cardiotwitter #Cardiology

Only 9.8% of interventional cardiology fellows are women less than 1% of that 9.8% are black women. I am elated at the possibility of being a (black) woman in #interventionalCardiology. If any women in interventional cardiology come across the tweet, please say hi ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿพ
