WEBVTT 00:00:06.160 --> 00:00:09.300 In undergraduate, I was studying nutritional science. 00:00:09.325 --> 00:00:14.060 In part of my coursework, I really became exposed to the idea of prenatal nutrition, 00:00:14.085 --> 00:00:17.780 which is what first gave me the idea of wanting to pursue women's health 00:00:17.805 --> 00:00:19.660 and preventative care for pregnancy. 00:00:19.685 --> 00:00:25.620 Somewhere over the course of my medical education, I realized very early that I 00:00:25.645 --> 00:00:29.780 particularly love patient population affected by infertility and the 00:00:29.805 --> 00:00:33.820 embryologic development and all things conception and associated. 00:00:33.845 --> 00:00:37.780 Being a women's healthcare provider is so important to me, but being an infertility 00:00:37.805 --> 00:00:42.340 healthcare provider is really what my true calling was and has always been. 00:00:42.365 --> 00:00:45.180 The journey itself is really my favorite part. 00:00:45.205 --> 00:00:49.975 Being able to meet with a couple or a patient who for whatever reason had 00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:52.820 the same experience that other people around them go through when they're 00:00:52.845 --> 00:00:57.380 working on building their families and being able to offer them hope, and work 00:00:57.405 --> 00:01:01.800 through understanding their particular case scenario, which is different for 00:01:01.825 --> 00:01:06.380 every patient, and then walking alongside them through the treatment options. 00:01:06.405 --> 00:01:09.050 Unfortunately, sometimes that involves failures. 00:01:09.080 --> 00:01:12.975 But ultimately, we're almost always getting to that goal of helping them 00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:14.570 build their family one way or another. 00:01:14.600 --> 00:01:18.680 Being able to celebrate those tiny miracles with them both in our office and 00:01:18.705 --> 00:01:22.480 then when they come back and bring them to see us too, it's just the best.
