BIO:
After graduating from Magnet, I went to Baylor University where I
earned a BA in Biology, graduating in '99. I went to medical school in
Shreveport, graduating in 2003, and I am now in Galveston, TX in residency
training as an Ob/Gyn (now in year 3 of 4). I am presently in one of
the research labs, working on a project studying premature ovarian
failure. Congrats to all of you who are married and have children. That is
a great blessing. I do enjoy the obsterics part of ob/gyn (especially
the deliveries and surgery), but I think I am going to concentrate on
reproductive endocrinology and help people with infertility (yes more
years of training in a fellowship).
On a personal note, I have been dating someone for 2 years who is very
kind, understands the medical world, and who is Chinese, adding some
additional variety to my life. I enjoy working with people of different
races and cultures -- East Asian, Indian/Pakistani, African American,
Mexican, Egyptian, etc., and there is definitely good representation of
all those groups down here, along with their native cuisines: mmm, mmm,
mmm, mmm, mmm -- sushi.
