A CU Medicine provider.

In Maternal-Fetal Medicine, optimizing medical care takes not only being an expert in the field but also understanding that complicated pregnancies are not just a “medical issue”. I strive to work as a team with my patients (and their families) to ensure that the plan we make together works for them. I strive to provide patient centered care with an understanding that every patient and their family is unique, and the same plan doesn’t work for every person. I prioritize equitable care for all people regardless of gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and other circumstances that make each of us unique. Patients should always feel that they have a voice and it is my goal to ensure that they feel heard and feel central in all plans that we make together.

I grew up in Alaska and first moved to Colorado for my residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology. Being outdoors has been a part of my life since I was born and these days, in my spare time, I enjoy hiking and camping with my husband, kiddos, and two dogs.

Clinical interest for patients

While I enjoy all areas of Maternal-Fetal Medicine, some of my specific clinical interests include Adult Congenital Heart Disease, multifetal gestations (twins, and higher-order multiples), complex deliveries (breech extraction of the second twin, operative vaginal delivery), and caring for pregnant people living with HIV.

Research interest for patients

My research interests include Adult Congenital Heart Disease in the setting of Pregnancy, fetal anomalies, and fetal growth restriction. My thesis project for Maternal-Fetal Medicine fellowship investigated the association between pregnancy and long-term cardiac events in individuals with congenital heart disease.

Volunteer activities

Outside of medicine, I volunteer with a local dog rescue. Both of my pups started as fosters and became family.
