Practice philosophy: Every pregnancy is unique, so I prioritize personalized care that focuses on the health and well-being of both mother and baby. I believe in open, honest communication, embracing tough conversations to ensure my patients fully understand their pregnancy. By sitting with them as they process their feelings and questions, I partner with families to navigate their care. I offer comprehensive options for challenging diagnoses and always center each family's values and journey in our plan.
What are you passionate about and why? I am passionate about advocacy through policy and community engagement to ensure equity for my patients. I strive to influence health policies, champion reproductive justice, address disparities, and center patients' voices in health solutions.
