Residency Program

ABOUT ME

I am an activist, advocate, listener, community organizer-turned-doctor.

Many aspects of OBGYN are unintentionally political, from the surgeries we perform to the prescriptions we give. It came as no surprise that I felt alive and at home during my OBGYN rotation, where I was able to empower women about their bodies and their choices.

UCSF is a beacon of activism and dedicated to serving marginalized communities inside and outside of the hospital. I found my people! This is a program that shares my values and has so many incredible physicians to learn from. I feel incredibly grateful to train here.

As a lifelong New Yorker, moving to the west coast is a big, new adventure! I am excited to build community and explore all the coffee, delicious food, hiking, and yoga of the Bay Area.
