About
Biography
My research focuses on labor management and the prevention of preterm birth. In particular, our research team seeks to better understand the relationship between maternal body mass index and labor and obstetric outcomes.
I love the opportunities I have to teach at the Ohio State College of Medicine. One of my roles in medical education is serving as the maternal-fetal medicine fellowship director. I’m also a research and career mentor to multiple residents and medical students. Supporting learners as they master new clinical skills and watching them as they develop into competent and compassionate physicians brings me great joy.
