Residency Program

ABOUT ME

I have always been interested in women's health. I come from a very matriarchal Liberian family and have seen how the health, or lack there of, of my women role models impacted my family. Yet, it wasn't until I did my OB/GYN clerkship in medical school and volunteered at a women's shelter, that pursuing a career in OB/GYN really became solidified. I was transformed by the relationships that could form with patients -- longitudinal and authentic -- and the amount of variety in the work itself -- a great balance between medical and surgical management. For these reasons and more, I applied to OB/GYN residencies fully excited and joyful that I had found my true passion and a path for providing care to vulnerable populations.

With the above career goals in mind, I chose UCSF for residency -- and am elated they chose me too. The UCSF OB/GYN department's level of dedication to underserved and vulnerable populations is truly visible throughout the country. I found a place that has an energy for caring and serving women that I believe aligns with my own. Additionally, I felt a sense of belonging, that the department would not only make me an excellent OB/GYN physician but also a better advocate for women and an overall better human-being. I am honored to train under their guidance and provide outstanding care to the women of San Francisco.

While my passion for work is evident, I also enjoy exploring nature through hiking and camping, and eating my way through any city that I find myself in! I look forward to exploring San Francisco and the Bay Area in all of its glory! What an honor to be moving to a city that I have dreamt of for many years!
