I have always been drawn to women’s healthcare and health issues. I take pride and honor in being able to care for women from adolescence, to pregnancy, to post-menopause. It is a privilege to help a family bring a new life into this world but also to be there for the female healthcare issues throughout the stages of life.

Since I was little, I can remember wanting to deliver babies. My fascination with how new life came to be only grew as I became older, and this eventually led to me pursuing a career in obstetrics. As my education progressed I began to realize how much I also loved caring for women though out their lives, not just during their pregnancies. I truly cherish the long-term relationships I am able to maintain with my patients, and help to take care of them at the best and worst of times. Being able to make even a small difference in someone’s life, especially during difficult times, is what keeps me going!
