Fellowship

Why did you choose WashU for fellowship?

It felt like a perfect fit on my interview day: the research infrastructure was astounding, the clinical acuity and variety were excellent, and the training seemed well-rounded and full of opportunities to do just about anything I wanted to do. But more than anything, it was the incredible people I met who are passionate about improving women’s lives and their community through clinical care and research that drew this Jersey girl to the Midwest.

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

Getting to know this patient population and diving deeper into clinical research. Also, barbecue.

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

As much as you can, enjoy your interviews! It is an amazing opportunity to talk about clinical care, research, and beyond with leaders in the field.

What goals do you hope to accomplish during your fellowship?
I hope to learn and see everything I can, to teach well, and to make an impact with research.
