The reason I am so passionate about women's health is because, if we don't do it, who will?

The reason I am so passionate about women's health is because women's health issues have been pushed to the back burner in research and development for too long. The time has come for data-driven, women-led healthcare for women. It is what they need and deserve. Inspired by Jennifer Gunter, "The days of snake-oil and patriarchy are over."

My commitment to women's health is career-long and sprang from exposure to the health needs experienced exclusively or disproportionately by women while in my final months of training. My desire for meaningful work that strives to cultivate awareness and build capacity for person-centered, intersectional, human rights-based, and equity-focused care matched a field - women's health - where disparities are deeply embedded, and the work is limitless. I became dedicated to women's health because there was work to do and I remain for the same reasons.

I've been fortunate to work at companies with innovative solutions that have improved the lives of millions of people worldwide. Being able to associate my efforts to the wide-scale availability of life-changing care for women is both humbling and thrilling at the same time. I have learned that, even with a great product, establishing a new standard of care is not easy. I believe success relies on a team of talented, resilient, resourceful, and committed people that never lose sight of the goal. The fight to win is part of the fun, and the result is incredibly rewarding.

"Women's health is under researched, under funded, and under reimbursed. I am passionate about changing all of these by driving advancements in technology that impacts 50% of the population.

Women's healthcare is not just about women; it is truly global healthcare. Women are leaders everywhere you look -They are heads of households, they are CEOs, the are mothers, spouses, and daughters. They are the architects of society. Women deserve to be thought of first, and not as an afterthought. It is time we ask them to stop giving without return, and instead invest in women and their futures, first.

I work relentlessly to make sure women have access to minimally invasive healthcare options that can treat their healthcare needs, allowing them to live life to the fullest with family and friends.
