quote
“My choice to work in the realm of transgender health was based on a passion I developed while still a medical student. At the time, this field was vastly uncharted territory, but I was fortunate to have mentors who opened my eyes to the much-needed care these patients deserved but often did not receive. From that point forward, I devoted my career to providing care to gender-diverse patients and advancing the field of gender-affirming health.”
