Why did you choose Duke for your fellowship training?
The Duke FPMRS division has a tremendous diversity in its clinical and research expertise, with world-class surgeons and researchers in all aspects of urogynecology. Moreover, they are committed not only to excellence in their own practice, but also to raising the next generation of urogynecologists. I had no doubt that Duke would offer me excellent training and help foster my own research and clinical interests as a fellow and was thrilled to be given the opportunity to join.
What excites you about the fellowship program at Duke Obstetrics and Gynecology?
I am looking forward to not only having amazing surgical and research training through this fellowship, but also to have the opportunity to live in and explore the Triangle.
What are your career goals?
Academic Urogynecologist
What are your hobbies?
Much of my downtime is spent with family and friends, as well as my two Great Danes. I love exploring the local hiking trails and visiting the amazing restaurants in and around the triangle.
