Q: What sparked your interest to focus in Obstetrics/Gynecology?
A: I became interested in caring for women after my own experience as a young mother with little to no knowledge about how to care for myself or even where to get started when I needed it. I hope to provide the same education, comfort, and care to my patients that was provided to me.
Q: Who was your role model growing up and encouraged you to follow your dreams?
A: The obstetrician who delivered my first baby was so uplifting and supportive of my desire to go into nursing with hopes to work in the Women’s Health field. We talked about it during many of my appointments and those conversations continued here and there while I was actually in nursing school during my second pregnancy. He may have just been humoring me but he was always positive and helped me believe I could take myself wherever I wanted to be with my life goals and career.
