Listening as the first step: "I started in healthcare in 2019, beginning in home health before falling in love with perimenopausal and menopausal care. I then began to work at a federally qualified health center, serving an underserved population. One patient, who had been to multiple providers before me, came in suffering from severe hot flashes and night sweats. She felt unheard and dismissed. I took the time to listen and validate her experience, then started her on a hormone therapy regimen that brought rapid relief. She was in tears, saying I had given her life back, and that moment solidified my belief that listening is one of the most powerful tools we have as clinicians."

My care philosophy: "Believe women. Hear them. Process what they’re saying. Their truth is valid, and my role is to use that truth to shape the best treatment plan for each individual."

Inspired by impact: "What excites me most about Midi is the sheer reach of our impact, how many women we’re helping now, and the countless others we have yet to reach. Knowing I’m part of a team dedicated to changing the midlife health experience makes me deeply proud to be a Midi Clinician."
