I am a family physician, educator, and sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR) advocate with expertise in full-spectrum family medicine. My academic work centers on expanding access to evidence-based, patient-centered reproductive healthcare through curriculum development, clinical leadership, and mentorship of trainees. I bring specialized experience in self-managed abortion, early pregnancy care, and inpatient and outpatient obstetrics, informed by clinical practice in academic family medicine and national advocacy roles. Across my teaching, clinical work, and scholarship, I focus on integrating Reproductive Justice principles into medical education and advancing systems that support access to high quality care for all patients.
