Professional Background
I’m a board-certified anesthesiologist specializing in obstetric anesthesiology, with a particular interest in patient education, medical education, and improving the quality of care during childbirth.
I currently practice at UC San Diego and previously held academic appointments at UMass Chan Medical School, Yale School of Medicine, and Harvard Medical School.
I earned my Master of Medical Sciences in Medical Education from Harvard Medical School in 2026. My academic work focuses on improving how anesthesiology residents are taught and assessed, particularly in obstetric anesthesia.
