About
Bio
I grew up in Pennsylvania, in a small town named Jeannette.
I went to Stanford University where I studied French and Human Biology. I attended medical school at University of California at Davis and recieved a MPH in Maternal and Child Health from University of California at Berkeley. Kaiser Permanente in Oakland California provided a great residency experience. Now I am in a private group practice called Health Central Women's Care in Dallas, Texas. I am married to a super guy Ahmed and we have two beautiful children, Logan and Annabelle.
