Residency Program

About Me

As a community organizer at heart, I have continually seen that to care for and organize for the health of a community is to come from a reproductive justice lens. I chose Obstetrics and Gynecology because I wanted to learn and work at the intersections of integrating community-based reproductive health work with the clinical space. To be both hands-on as surgeon and intimately relational as primary care provider. Both health justice organizer for improving reproductive health in my own community and culturally-rooted researcher. To train as an OB/GYN is, for me, an honor and commitment to re-shaping a future where women, gender non-conforming people, and all marginalized people, are heard, cared for, and equipped with tools to lead empowered and health-affirming lives. I am thrilled to be here at UCSF not only for the excellent training but for the clear commitment and community dedicated to a more equitable system. It’s here at UCSF that I know I am being uniquely equipped with the tools, knowledge, and community that will allow me to work toward this more just clinical practice and community future.

Outside of the clinic and hospital, you can find me playing volleyball, writing, getting to the ocean, going to live music shows, making homemade body butters and herbal medicine, studying up on Black/African healing traditions, and working on my Spanish.
