Why ObGyn: I chose OB/GYN because the stories of the strong women in my family inspired me to care for patients navigating reproductive health challenges, while combining my passions for surgery, longitudinal relationships, and advocacy.

Why UCSF: I chose UCSF because its commitment to health equity and developing physician-leaders. From interview day, I knew it was a place where my identity and values would be celebrated while challenging me to grow into the leader I hope to become.
