Being a woman, a mother, a sister and a daughter have all shaped me into the provider I am today. I have experiences that allow me to personally relate to other women’s experiences – induction, labor, C-sections, post-term pregnancy, pre-term delivery, NICU admissions as well as many other things. I listen carefully to my patients – seeking to make sure they feel comfortable, during sometimes uncomfortable situations, and working together to create shared health care goals."
