I was drawn to obstetrics and gynecology because I wanted to not only provide medical care for women, but also be their advocate in the health care system. Every day in my clinical practice, I strive to take care of and be present for all types of patients as they journey through their reproductive years, pregnancy, labor, and menopause. I do this by asking the right questions, listening to their concerns, and providing compassionate and personalized care. 

Educating medical students is another driving force behind my passion for the field. As the Site Director at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, I coach students through their first clinical experiences of labor and delivery in addition to gynecological surgery in the operating room. I enjoy seeing my students care for patients, grow their knowledge, and create clinical plans of their own. Guiding and inspiring them to provide evidence-based care and possibly pursue the specialty of OB-GYN energizes my work, and it’s very fulfilling to have this important impact on the next generation of medical practitioners.

In my research, I have investigated different sperm characteristics with the goal to better understand male fertility. Together with my fellow researchers, we found that a plant-based diet may reduce sperm quality and developed a new sperm quality test to associate different factors with fertilization, pregnancy, and miscarriage. 

I’ve appeared in a few media outlets about women’s health, including Blood and Milk, where I speak about vaginal discharge and Glamour, where I comment on factors contributing to low libido. 

At Flo, I enjoy providing my expertise about gynecological topics and playing a part in making health information more accessible and understandable to users around the globe.
