I grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan and recently moved to the Bay area after marrying my college sweetheart. We met at the University of Michigan where I completed my undergraduate degree in Cellular Molecular Biology. Following that, I attended Wayne State University School of Medicine in Detroit and received my M.D. Staying in Detroit, I finished my residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at St. John Hospital and Medical Center in Detroit in 2009 and then joined the Loma Vista Ob/Gyn Medical Group.
Growing up with four sisters, and no brothers, inspired my interest in women's health and since then it has become one of my passions. In college, I founded the Young Asian Women's Health Organization (YAWHO) to encourage the Asian American community to take an active role in their health care. YAWHO organized guest speaker events, published a health column for a campus magazine, and collaborated with other ethnic and health organizations to raise health awareness. During medical school at Wayne State University, I participated in a similar program that focused on educating adolescents about sexually transmitted infections, HIV, and contraception. These experiences helped me realize which health issues I would like to treat in my own patients, such as infertility and contraception, and confirmed my decision to be involved with health care for women. I look forward to starting new and lasting relationships with my patients and colleagues at Loma Vista.
Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, reading, yoga, music, dancing, origami and watching football and basketball. I can speak Mandarin Chinese conversationally, and I look forward to practicing my medical Chinese in the near future.
