Why Obstetrics and Gynecology?

I love caring for people through periods of transition – in ob/gyn, we have the unique opportunity to be with patients from birth, through puberty, fertility, menopause, and even end-of-life. There are endless opportunities to meet people where they are and that always feels so special. I also love that we get to think through complex medical problems and treat patients with medications while also having the chance to perform surgeries and offer definitive management.

Why UNC?

I was so impressed on interview day of the feelings of camaraderie between the residents and faculty. What really stood out to me was how, at this renowned institution with power house research and clinical opportunities, everyone I spoke with was humble, kind, and excitable.
