Why do you love working in women’s health?
Women's reproductive health is often undervalued in our society. I enjoy working in this field to give women the attention, empowerment, and healthful guidance that they deserve as they often "wear many hats" from day to day.
What do you do outside of work?
Beyond medicine, I enjoy being a mom to my 3 boys, camping with my husband, trail running, hiking, and racing triathlons.
