Clinical Interests/Research Interests
Clinical interests are on improving quality of care and patient safety across antepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum units to enhance maternal health outcomes. I am dedicated to expanding access to maternal healthcare in underserved communities both locally and globally, addressing disparities in care and conditions such as maternal anemia and pre-eclampsia.
Additionally, I have a strong interest in residency curriculum development and training, with a particular focus on physician well-being and burnout prevention.
