I specialize in caring for vulnerable women and children, aiming to ensure that all people receive quality, compassionate care, while also being an expert in promoting maternal and child health domestically and globally. From evaluating breastfeeding policies in the Middle East to the impact of long acting reversible contraception in sub-Saharan Africa, I am committed to empowering women and families.
I'm originally from Long Beach, California, and studied bio-psychology at the University of California at Santa Barbara. While I had volunteered at hospitals during my undergraduate career, it wasn't until I became a patient with partial paralysis that nurses really became heroes in my eyes. It was then that I decided I wanted to be that advocate and caretaker for families in both their happiest and hardest life moments.
