Residency Program

About Me

I was born and spent the first few years of life in Hanford, California of the San Joaquin Valley. My family relocated to Chula Vista, California, part of San Diego County, where I grew up and spent the majority of my life. In college I made the decision to pursue a career in service through the practice of medicine instead of continuing on as a collegiate athlete. As part of this journey, I moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where I completed my medical school education.

Through a time of personal growth and self-reflection I made the decision to fulfill a purpose in service to others as a physician in the practice of Obstetrics and Gynecology. It was not until the third year of medical school that I found that the practice of OB/GYN was the perfect fit for what I learned to appreciate in a practice of medicine. I was drawn to the opportunity of OB/GYN practice to include medicine, surgery, primary care, community advocacy, and caring for those foundational to our communities.

I am honored for the opportunity to train as a physician resident in OB/GYN at UCSF. Through the training of the program and guidance of its leaders, I believe that I will become skilled in clinical practice and community advocacy.

I am excited to return to my home state of California and continue my journey living in the Bay Area where my mother is from. Outside of the hospital, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, trips to the beach, and staying active.
