I chose to become a physician assistant in obstetrics and gynecology because I support women and advocate for their needs throughout important milestones in their lives. I enjoy making patients feel empowered and educated so we can work together to improve their health. I value shared decision making with patients and the relationships that are created along the way. Prior to coming to UNC, I worked in a family planning clinic in Los Angeles, CA. In my free time, I enjoy exploring North Carolina with my husband and dog, hiking, and running.
