"I have spent the last two years practicing medicine at a rural hospital in Kenya. That has taught me how to be resourceful and how to care for patients in even the most dire of circumstances. It has also taught me how to provide holistic care to patients. I strive to give every patient not only quality but also compassionate care, and want them to feel that they are coming to see not only their physician, but also a trusted friend."

“Obstetrics and gynecology as a specialty was an easy choice for me. The miracle and joy of childbirth continues to amaze me today just as it did during my days in medical school. Additionally, the continuity of care which I have with a patient and her family and being part of watching their family grow is truly gratifying.”

I want them to think, ‘I have a friend here who knows some things and can help me.’ I also feel that being comfortable and relaxed in the patient setting is extremely important to a successful outcome. Flowered shirts are my thing. You will probably never see me in a tie.”

“There is a story about the little boy who was throwing the starfish back into the ocean as the tide was going out. A man stopped him and asked him why he was doing this as there were so many starfish and he couldn’t possibly make a difference. At that point the boy bent down and gently tossed another starfish into the ocean and stated, ‘I made a difference for that one!’ I want to make a difference in the lives of the women and families I see."
