Why did you choose Duke for your residency training?

Duke felt like the perfect combination of rigorous clinical training, research support and quality of life in a culture of advocacy and mutual respect. I felt confident from my interview that I would be supported to become the best doctor, advocate and person that I could here at Duke. I got the sense (now happily confirmed!) that the residents are happy, inclusive and well-cared for despite the intensity of the training. 

What excites you about the residency program at Duke OB/GYN?

I am amazed each day by my colleagues’ commitment to providing high-quality, evidence-based and respectful patient care. There are so many smart and dedicated, but humble people providing life-changing health care, doing practice-changing research and/or improving care through advocacy – I am excited to learn more about my co-residents’ and faculty members’ unique backgrounds, interests and accomplishments! I am also eager and honored to serve and learn from the women and families of Durham.

What are your career goals?

I am interested in maternal-fetal medicine and the complex intersection of high-risk pregnancy care and family planning. I hope to forge a career focused on helping people with complex medical conditions, pregnancy complications and/or fetal anomalies safely attain the families they want and deserve. I am also eager to continue my research efforts to improve and expand access to reproductive health care both locally and nationally.

Describe your research interests/goals:

Access to contraception and abortion, reproductive decision making, health care delivery and equity 

What are your hobbies?

Spending time with my husband and two children, hiking and exploring Durham!
