Q&A

I love helping patients take control and build families when and how they choose. Building life-long relationships in such an impactful way is incredibly special.

I love being part of a relatively new field and helping shape the innovation and future of family building. It makes coming to work every day exciting, and I love taking on new challenges and problem-solving. The bookworm nerd in me thrives in the basic science of reproductive endocrinology and hormone pathways, while my extrovert side loves all the relationship-building the field lends. 

As a physician, patients invite you into the most vulnerable times of their lives which is the greatest privilege. Navigating through these difficult times with patients and achieving a positive outcome is the most rewarding part of my job. 

I am most proud of the life-long relationships I get to build through my practice, not only with patients, but also colleagues and the whole care team.

I trained with some of the leaders in endometriosis research and I am drawn to this community that suffers from an often overlooked and under-recognized silent disease. Additionally, having experienced miscarriage myself, I feel drawn to the area of recurrent pregnancy loss and being a light for individuals who walk this very challenging road. Lastly, as someone who was education and career-focused for the majority of my life, I truly value the technology of fertility preservation and love to help patients pursue this avenue for whatever reason they may need it.

I enjoy spending time with family and friends, baking, doing pilates and yoga, and traveling.

I had a brief stint as a hand model for Starbucks.
