About me

  • Associate Residency Program Director, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania
  • Clinical Associate, School of Nursing at the University of Pennsylvania
  • Associate Professor of Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology

I am an academic specialist in Obstetrics and Gynecology, providing full-scope Ob/Gyn care. I have a special focus in routine and high-risk pregnancy, breastfeeding and lactation medicine, complex family planning, gynecologic surgery including hysterectomy, and gynecologic care for transgender and gender diverse people. I enjoy educating my patients about their conditions and learning their goals for their health, which allows me to practice shared decision making to meet each patient's goals for their own health.

Patients seen by this provider for their prenatal care will deliver at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.
