In medical school, I enjoyed the disciplines of internal medicine and obstetrics the most. I decided to specialize in endocrinology once I finished my internal medicine residency, and I found myself especially drawn to caring for pregnant women with various endocrinological conditions.
To this end, I decided to pursue a second fellowship in obstetric medicine so that I could provide more expertise to pregnant women with general medical conditions as well. I am blessed to complete the full circle by working in both the disciplines of internal medicine and obstetrics on a daily basis.
As a physician in obstetric and consultative medicine, I spend most of my time supporting pregnant people with medical conditions to help them have a safe pregnancy and birthing journey. Specifically, I specialize in diabetes (both pre-existing and gestational), obesity, and endocrine disorders during pregnancy. I also have special interests in the use of insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitoring during pregnancy as well as the management of polycystic ovarian syndrome.
I care deeply about the long-term health of mothers and offer preconception counseling to those who have chronic medical conditions to help them achieve better pregnancy outcomes.
At Women and Infants Hospital, I am also the director of the Obesity in Pregnancy service, which was the first of its kind in North America when it was set up back in 2012. I enjoy coaching future doctors about how people who are obese can still have the safest possible pregnancy with the appropriate preconception & interpregnancy care.
It is an absolute joy for me to work with the Flo team to help spread knowledge to users around the world that helps them better manage their personal and reproductive well-being.
