PGY-5

I recently completed my OB/GYN residency at Yale New Haven Health – Bridgeport Hospital, where I served as Curriculum Chief Resident during my final year.

I earned my medical degree from Universidad Iberoamericana in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, graduating with a distinction in research. During residency, I developed strong interests in clinical research, medical education, and high-risk obstetrics. My research has focused on diabetes care during pregnancy and the postpartum period, as well as strategies to improve maternal immunization rates.

I’ve been fortunate to receive recognition from national societies, including awards from the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine and the Society for Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility. Outside of clinical work, I’m passionate about teaching, mentorship, and community outreach—particularly efforts that connect underserved populations with reproductive health resources.

I’m looking forward to learning from and contributing to the team here, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to grow as both a clinician and a researcher in maternal fetal medicine.
