Practice resilience- sometimes successful women are just the last ones standing.
WHAT DO YOU DO?
High Risk Pregnancy Specialist and Researcher
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THIS FIELD?
I grew up in a scientific family so I always knew I was going to do medical research. I chose women’s health because we need more data to make evidence based decisions
WHAT DO YOU LOOK AT & THINK, "I WISH YOUNGER ME WOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS WAS POSSIBLE?"
I’m still not sure it’s ideal- but I’m grateful that I was able to find a partner to share parenting with and have a good work-life balance. It’s been tough because my husband is also in academic medicine/research.
WHY DO YOU LOVE WORKING IN STEM?
I love problem solving and figuring out the best way to get answers to questions that will help improve women and infant health
BEST ADVICE FOR NEXT GENERATION?
Practice resilience- sometimes successful women are just the last ones standing.
