I attended Cornell University and received a Bachelor of Science in Biology and Society, with minors in Nutrition and Inequality Studies. I then went to Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston, MA where I received my Doctor of Medicine and Master of Public Health. I did my OB/GYN residency at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine.

What made you want to be an OB/GYN?

I love being able to help women through some of their most vulnerable moments. I also am  enjoy taking care of women of all ages and at different points in their lifetimes.

I enjoy all aspects of women’s health – in particular, the ability to care for women through all stages of their lives. My special interests include high-risk obstetrics, contraception and family planning, and minimally invasive laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgery.
