Projects
Global Health
My global health work inspired me to become an OB/GYN. It was through my research into misoprostol (a medication commonly used on labor and delivery) and postpartum hemorrhage that I discovered my passion for women’s health. In college, I started a student group that later turned into a global women’s health nonprofit called Saving Mothers, an organization that aims to empower local healthcare workers to provide antenatal, intrapartum and gynecologic care in Latin America and, now, sub-Saharan Africa. My work with Saving Mothers was featured in a 2014 Financial Times Women In Business article.
Research and Publications
In addition to my global health work, I have worked on research projects ranging from ovarian cancer markers to social integration after fistula repair in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In medical school, I was a year-long Clinical & Translational Research Fellow funded by the National institute of Health (NIH) and a graduate of the Clinical & Translational Research Pathways Program.
For a recent list of publications, see my Stanford profile.
Consulting
One of my goals is to leverage my clinical knowledge and multidisciplinary background to make a positive impact in healthcare. It has been exciting to work as a consultant for several startups and health-focused organizations, including the World Health Organization’s Department of Reproductive Health and Research, where we are expanding access to digital health tools in low-resource areas.
I am always interested in high-impact projects, especially in the world of women’s and reproductive health so feel free to reach out if you have ideas, suggestions or questions on this topic!
