Where do you call home?
Farmington, CT
What are your clinical or research interests?
My institutional and local advocacy efforts are focused on abortion and health equity. I aspire to train medical students and resident doctors to be confident advocates for their patients and communities – creating an education space in the medical community looking to expand their advocacy horizons.
What do you wish other providers knew about reproductive health, rights, and justice?
The best teachers are our patients. I am constantly amazed and humbled by their strength and openness with their stories and truths. In these interactions we will find the answers to moving forward toward a more equitable healthcare future.
What local justice-centered organization do you want to uplift?
Reproductive Equity Now, Connecticut
What is bringing you joy?
Creating partnerships in my community and institution, teaching, family time, cozy cat cuddles.
