WEBVTT 00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:09.800 I have always known that I wanted to be involved in healthcare and reproductive 00:00:09.825 --> 00:00:11.695 care since I was probably the age of 12. 00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:14.140 I wanted to be an OB/GYN for as long as I can remember. 00:00:14.165 --> 00:00:19.080 It was in medical school where I had a really unique opportunity to work at the 00:00:19.105 --> 00:00:23.280 NIH as well as at Stanford, where I met and worked with patients that 00:00:23.305 --> 00:00:24.935 struggled with infertility. 00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:28.040 In that moment, was when I knew for the rest of my life that I wanted to 00:00:28.065 --> 00:00:30.140 help patients experience parenthood. 00:00:30.165 --> 00:00:34.840 We're constantly learning and growing and figuring out ways how to get the goal 00:00:34.865 --> 00:00:36.820 answered for each one of our patients. 00:00:36.845 --> 00:00:40.260 At a personal level, there is nothing more rewarding than 00:00:40.285 --> 00:00:42.980 helping people experience parenthood on a daily basis. 00:00:43.005 --> 00:00:50.060 I want people to feel heard, to feel seen, to feel supported, 00:00:50.085 --> 00:00:51.860 and to feel well cared for. 00:00:51.885 --> 00:00:55.420 I think there's a lot of places where people can experience healthcare, and 00:00:55.445 --> 00:00:59.840 it's important to get really good state-of-the-art care, but it's also 00:00:59.865 --> 00:01:04.020 important to be recognized as the human that's receiving that care. 00:01:04.045 --> 00:01:06.770 I'm an extrovert. I love to be with people. 00:01:06.800 --> 00:01:12.020 Being with others, learning from others, growing with others, and helping others is 00:01:12.045 --> 00:01:13.260 truly my cup of tea. 00:01:13.285 --> 00:01:14.850 It's the best job on the planet. 00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:18.880 Quite honestly, I love going to work every day because what I get to do is 00:01:18.905 --> 00:01:21.640 help people's dreams come true.
