Why did you choose OBGYN?
I chose OBGYN because of the unique relationships we build with patients during some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives. There is something incredibly meaningful about the moment a patient realizes they are in a safe space to discuss a concern they have been carrying for months, or even years. The combination of advocacy, surgery, continuity of care, and the joy of delivering babies makes it the perfect specialty for me.
Why do OBGYN at UCSF Fresno?
My sub-internship at UCSF Fresno solidified my desire to return to the Central Valley and care for this unique patient population. The training and exposure here are incredible and i knew I would graduate feeling prepared to care for any OBGYN patient, no matter how complex the case. Just as importantly, everyone I worked with from the residents and attendings to the nurses and staff were so welcoming and invested in my education. Even as a student, I truly felt like a part of the team, and that experience made it easy to choose UCSF Fresno.
Hobbies/Facts/Interest
Outside of medicine, you'll usually find me hiking, traveling, exploring different cuisines, surfing, cake decorating, pickleball-ing, reading, or enjoying an unreasonable amount of matcha. I am always excited to try something new or discover somewhere new!
