Resident OB/GYN Physician - Health Policy & Global Health Advocate

Chicago, Illinois, United States

About

I recently graduated from Rush Medical College and will be starting as an Obstetrics and Gynecology resident physician at NYU Langone Health. My path to medicine has been shaped by a strong foundation in public health, with a focus on health equity, reproductive justice, and advocacy. I earned my Master of Public Health from Boston University School of Public Health, where I concentrated in Health Policy and Law and Global Health. I am especially interested in the intersection of clinical care, policy, and education, and how these spaces can be leveraged to improve outcomes for women and underserved communities. Always happy to connect.
