Fellowship

Why did you choose WashU for fellowship?

Since I did residency here, there are countless reasons, including lower rent and less traffic! But the patients, community and mentorship, and opportunities for advocacy are unparalleled and fulfilling..

What are you looking forward to the most by being a fellow at WashU?

The privilege to continue to care for and learn from the diverse, complex pregnant and birthing population we serve.

What advice would you give OBGYN residents applying for your chosen fellowship specialty?

MFM is a diverse field, keep your mind open during residency to see what inspires you. Pregnant and birthing persons need compassionate physicians and fierce advocates now more than ever.

What are your career goals?
Further develop skills in advocacy, reproductive care, obstetric emergencies, and culturally competent care.
