I also perform a wide variety of gynecologic procedures and surgeries including minimally invasive surgical techniques in the treatment of abnormal uterine bleeding, fibroids and ovarian cysts. My time as a resident influenced my decision to pursue academic medicine because I feel guiding the next generation of medical students and Ob-Gyn residents is some of the most important work in the continued advancement of the field.
