About Me

I became an obstetrician and gynecologist because I am passionate about improving women’s health, and I find joy in caring for my patients throughout all stages of their lives. At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, I perform gynecological surgical procedures, provide contraception services, and guide patients through each stage of pregnancy. My clinical and research interests include minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, adolescent gynecology, and pregnancy, and treating substance use disorders during pregnancy.

I take great care to provide patients with the information they need to make informed decisions surrounding their health. Fostering a trusting patient–doctor relationship is particularly important to me. I strive for open, direct communication with my patients while providing compassionate, evidence-based and patient-centered care.

As an Ohio State-trained physician, I have great pride in our institution and it’s an honor to work alongside such exceptional colleagues. The culture of camaraderie trickles down from leadership to practitioners to other hospital staff and informs our interactions with patients. I also appreciate the opportunity to work with and educate trainees and residents.

I met my husband during medical school, and we were thrilled to make central Ohio our new home after we both matched at Ohio State for our residency programs. Outside of work, we love being with our daughter and exploring Columbus.
