“I am drawn to Obstetrics and Gynecology because I am passionate about this patient population. I have the unique opportunity of caring for someone during all phases of their life including puberty, pregnancy, menopause, and everything in between. My goal is for my patients to feel empowered about their choices regarding their health and the control they have in reaching those decisions. I find that medicine is an art of balancing appropriate medical knowledge with compassionate care, and that all patients should feel they can trust their physician. Therefore, I strive to be personable and approachable, while also providing informative and thorough counseling to my patients, so we can create an appropriate plan together. I also recognize that access to healthcare for the LGBTQ community can come with barriers, so I hope to advocate for these patients and foster a welcoming, inclusive environment during our encounters. ”
