Clinical Interests
My clinical practice is focused on caring for patients during acute and complex events, such as difficult pregnancies, labors, surgeries, and urgent gynecologic issues. I have a special interest in the Ob/Gyn Hospitalist model because I believe it is essential for providing the highest quality care and ensuring patient safety in these critical moments.

Care Philosophy
My care philosophy is centered on the belief that being an educator for my patients is one of the most important parts of my job. I strive to ensure my patients feel informed and empowered to participate in their own healthcare decisions. My goal is to work together to navigate complex situations, from difficult pregnancies and labors to challenging surgeries. Quality care and patient safety are the driving factors in my clinical practice. I am passionate about working within a multidisciplinary team to provide equitable, high-quality care for all my patients. Ultimately, I aim to create a partnership built on trust and clear communication, providing compassionate and skilled care during critical moments.
