Personal Statement

"I truly believe I have the best job in the world and that is to help families navigate the process of a pregnancy. Be it the preconception period, the pregnancy itself, or the postpartum period, challenges may arise and require a physician who is able to care for the well-being of the mother and the baby. A guiding principle that I live by is to treat every person I encounter as if they were my family, and that is exactly how I approach the field of medicine."
