Where I feel most at home: “I started working in healthcare in 2015, beginning in labor and delivery before shifting into women’s health full-time. I’ve worked in family planning and OB/GYN settings, and more recently focused on obesity medicine. Throughout it all, I’ve stayed grounded in supporting women through every life stage. It’s the most meaningful and energizing work I can imagine.”

Lessons from a friend: “A turning point for me was helping a close friend navigate her own health issues. It really opened my eyes to how isolating it can feel when you're not truly listened to. Since then, I've made it my priority to be an empathetic and active listener in every patient interaction. I care about my patients as I would care for friends and family, with compassion and intention.”

Collaboration is care: “At Midi, I love how we center shared decision-making. My patients are always involved in choosing their treatment, and we really figure it out together. It’s so rewarding to help women who’ve been dismissed elsewhere finally feel seen, heard, and supported.”
