Why I chose to pursue a career in healthcare:

My interest in medicine began in elementary school, and I worked toward my goal of becoming a physician during college. Volunteering in the women's student health clinic on campus made it clear to me that obstetrics and gynecology would be my chosen field. OB/GYN allows me to educate patients about their reproductive health and offer many new therapies to improve their lives.

What I want my patients to know about me:

I enjoy teaching the next generation of OB/GYN physicians. I know that our patients benefit from the attentiveness of passionate, young physicians who collaborate with experienced older physicians for guidance.

What I do when I'm not seeing patients:

I enjoy watching movies, attending live theater performances, reading, going on road trips, trying new restaurants, and I am trying to stay motivated to keep swimming for exercise.
