Assistant Professor
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Rush Medical College
Role: Clinician, Faculty, Medical Director
Joined Rush in January 2013
I am an assistant professor of Obstetrics/Gynecology, a medical director for faculty general obstetrics/gynecology practice, and the section chief for ambulatory obstetrics/gynecology.
My love for women’s health inspired me. I enjoy the diversity of clinical practice in obstetrics/gynecology. In my work, I get to be involved in surgical, obstetric, and office/primary care.
I was excited to build a busy, new, general obstetrics/gynecology practice. Providing high-level care to patients, including many employees and their families, is very satisfying for me. Teaching students and residents through our provision of patient-centered care is also one of the things I enjoy most about my work.
I am always looking for mentors to help me navigate administrative roles in a large academic center. And, I am always willing to mentor others who follow me.
Make sure you love it. It takes an unbelievable amount of time and energy to be an outstanding obstetrician/gynecologist.
My hobbies include spending time with my children, my husband, my friends and their families. I also love being outside in nature and reading novels. In fact, I would like to write one someday.
