What aspect of your job do you love the most? I love building relationships with my patients, gaining their trust and becoming their advocate. OBGYN is such a diverse field and it is incredibly fulfilling!

What's your favorite TV show or movie? My favorite all time show is Friends, but currently I would say Stranger things. My favorite movie would be The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.

What are your hobbies? Traveling to national parks with my fiancé, trying new recipes, board games, and swimming.

Do you have any children and/or pets?I have a childhood cat back home (Buttercup) who I absolutely adore but other than that no new ones yet!

Any other info you want to share?I am interested in education and enjoy being a source of knowledge for my patients. I am also interested in minimally invasive surgery!
