I am a maternal-fetal medicine subspecialist and anthropologist. I am interested in multidisciplinary inquiries into abortion, maternal-fetal therapy, and management of infectious diseases - specifically HIV, cytomegalovirus, toxoplasmosis, and syphilis - during pregnancy. I also have a vested interested in health equity and reproductive justice, and utilize these lenses to engage in critical inquiry to improve health outcomes for pregnant and pregnancy-capable people.
