While in Dr. Ho's lab, I investigated the association of modifiable risk factors related to cardiovascular disease in the offspring of participants in the Framingham Heart Study. I also assisted in evaluating the association of infertility and heart failure risk among women enrolled in the Women's Health Initiative. My proudest accomplishments are working on both projects, particularly the former as I was first author and learned valuable skills including: developing a research question, steps for IRB submission and approval, study design and methods, manuscript writing and ultimately publication!
