Tell us about where you currently live (city/country) and how you ended up in this location.

I moved to Rochester, New York, USA in 2018 to join the faculty after graduating from Fellowship.

Tell us about your work - your job title, where you work, how long you've worked in the field, areas of focus or research, etc.

I joined the University of Rochester as an Assistant Professor in 2018, and I'm also currently the Assistant Program Director of our FPMRS Fellowship.

When and why did you decide to join IUGA?

I first joined IUGA in 2017 during my FPMRS Fellowship at Mayo Clinic. I enjoy learning from a diverse, international community of pelvic floor experts to provide high quality, evidence based patient care.

What has been your most rewarding or memorable IUGA experience?

As a Fellow, I attended the 42nd Annual Meeting in Vancouver, and my co-fellows and I assisted John Gebhart, MD on a Vaginal Uterosacral Suspension during a Cadaveric Live Surgery Session.

What is the last book you read or movie you saw? Would you recommend it?

I have a 17 month old daughter, so it's been a while since I've seen a movie! My husband and I snuck away to see the Hamilton musical when it toured in Rochester, NY and we loved it!

What are your hobbies? What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?

I enjoy running, hiking, and traveling.

What is one "fun fact" about you?

My husband and I are learning American Sign Language with our 17 month old daughter.
