I spoke with your teacher and it sounds like something I will be able to take on. Let me know
if you need anything else at this point. I suggest That you search the NY times as there has
been a lot written on maternal mortality in the past year.

I would be happy for you to interview me. When we talk you can let me know what
mentorship entails and I can determine whether it will be possible for me to be your
advisor. Give me some dates and times for the phone call.

I am excited that you are looking into this area. Maternal mortality in the US is much
higher than other developed countries; this effort reduced it in California.

Dear Dr. Elyse Foster:

My name is Navya Krishna and I am a junior at River Hill High School in

Howard County, Maryland,
where I am enrolled in the Gifted and Talented Independent Research Program.
My research topic for this academic school year is cardiac events during
pregnancy. Throughout this year, I hope to develop a more specific research
question within this topic. I
also aim to educate myself further in this area. By the end of the academic school
year, I hope to have generated an annotated bibliography and research paper, and
developed a product that will create some new knowledge, solve a real problem,
and be presented
to an interested, authentic audience. As part of the research of the process, I have
examined a variety of scholarly articles to find a research topic.
Due to my area of interest, a doctor recently recommended that I look at
into the Improving Health
Care Response to Cardiovascular Disease in Pregnancy and Postpartum Toolkit
from the California Maternal Quality Care Collaborative in 2017. After reading
the first part of the Toolkit,
Cardiovascular Disease Assessment in Pregnant and Postpartum Women,
I became interested in your work and its relevance to my area of interest. The
 I became interested in your work and its relevance to my area of interest. The
real-world application of this topic is very beneficial for my research, which will
be metacritical.
I especially liked the chart in the article, as it is easy to follow and to use.
In the article, you mention an X-ray and a drug screen as some of the tests that
can be performed,
but are there limitations with those tests specifically, considering the health of
the fetus? Also, I have read that nearly 90% of pregnant women develop a heart
murmur, which is listed as a Red Flag in the article, so how critical is it? I would
love to pick
your brain, on the article and the Toolkit, as well as on my research topic.
Because your work is so relevant to my research topic, I was wondering if
you could assist me
on my research this year. I am currently looking for someone to guide me, and I
could use an expert like you. If you have the time and are interested, I would like
to interview you and would appreciate any resources you could refer me to. Any
feedback you
could give me to help direct my research or improve any of my upcoming
assignments, such as my paper, would be very helpful. I have attached an
overview of the course with information on its timeline. I am available by email,
phone, text, or whatever method
of communication is most convenient for you. If you prefer to contact my
teacher, her email is
msasser@hcpss.org
.
Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you
soon.

Sincerely,

Navya Krishna
