I am an obstetrician-gynecologist (OB/GYN) who cares for patients during pregnancy, especially when the pregnancy is more complicated because of medical, surgical, or genetic reasons.

I enjoy helping patients navigate their unique and intricate medical situations, ensuring they have a good understanding of what is happening in their bodies, to make informed decisions aligned with their personal priorities.

Originally from Portland, Oregon, I am excited to be back for my fellowship. Before becoming a doctor, I studied at Shimer College in Chicago, where I delved into classics like "The Odyssey," "On the Origin of Species," and "A Critique of Pure Reason." After working in higher education, I decided to pursue medicine. During my studies in Oakland, California and Rochester, New York, I volunteered at a needle exchange, participated in street outreach programs and worked with justice-involved individuals. I completed my OB/GYN residency at UC Davis in Sacramento, California, where I found time to enjoy the outdoors by biking and tubing along the American River.

Outside of work, I enjoy reading with a cup of tea on a rainy day. I also enjoy hiking with my partner, Kaitlyn, and caring for our pets, which include chickens, cats, and a dog.
