What are you passionate about and why? Using my everyday work to make the world a more just and equitable place.
Why did you become a provider? When did you know this was the career for you? I chose OB/Gyn because it's a combination of primary care and surgery. I stay in the specialty because I love working with patients at such vulnerable yet powerful moments in their lives.
What is one of the challenges of this career you enjoy? And why? I really enjoy patient education: helping patients better understand their bodies and how they work, in a way that makes sense to them.
What is your personal health goal? Getting enough sleep!
What is the best thing you've done for your health or the best health advice you've received? Integrating physical activity into everyday life, especially walking/biking to work!
