Best part of my work: Getting to share in a family’s pregnancy and empowering women to be their own health care advocates.
Why I became a physician: I chose my career in medicine at age 15 after I witnessed my mother give birth to my siblings.
What I tell friends and family: Don’t be afraid to bring your teenage daughter to the clinic for education about her changing body.
How I spend my free time: Traveling, cooking, reading and spending time with my husband and dog.
What patients say about me: I have been told that I am a compassionate listener, laid-back and do a good job explaining complicated issues.
