Biography
I received a B.A.S. degree in Biologic Science and Anthropology, and a Master’s degree in Biology from Stanford University. I received my MD Degree from the University of Vermont School of Medicine. I then completed my internship and residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Minnesota. My subspecialty training in Maternal Fetal Medicine was at Washington University.
Personal Statement
I have chosen the subspecialty of Maternal Fetal Medicine as it is dedicated to giving high risk pregnant women the best possible outcome for such a major event in their lives. The broad nature and intellectual challenge of my field keeps me engaged and excited. My particular areas of interest are prenatal ultrasound, prenatal diagnosis, and pre-eclampsia.
