Biography

My ultimate goal is to develop a career in Obstetrics and Gynaecology (Ob/Gyn) that is specifically aimed at going beyond translating science into applicable interventions that are affordable, so as to promote patient health at the level of underserved communities and large city hospitals. I plan to perform my clinical duties in the context of these communities, while simultaneously using my clinical and research skills to close the gap in access to healthcare and novel therapies. As a Gates scholar I completed the Translational Medicine MPhil, both taking courses and completing a research project in the department of Ob/Gyn. In June 2013, I returned to NYU School of Medicine for the final year of medical training, and to begin a residency program in OB/GYN at UPenn starting June 2014.
