Finding a career has never been an issue in my life. I’ve always known I wanted to go into healthcare. As I got older, I started to narrow that down to labor/delivery or neonatal care, finally coming to the realization of wanting to be an OB/GYN. The female body and everything it can do is extremely fascinating to me. We experience complete menstrual cycles, spend our lives preparing for child birth, create and deliver human beings, produce food for them, and still manage to live our lives. I’m very passionate about this area of medicine and cannot wait to learn everything about it. With this job, I’ll get to help women with issues relating to their mental health, sexual lives, pregnancies, and menstrual cycles, which I believe will be very fulfilling to me. One of the things I’m anticipating helping women with is infertility. In my lifetime, I’ve witnessed several family members and friends struggle with being unable to conceive a child and have seen firsthand the impacts it can have on the woman, couple, and their relationship. While I know in some cases infertility can be a permanent issue, it can sometimes be helped and treatments can result in a child for the couple. I want to be able to discuss with and assist them in their goals of conceiving. Something else I’m very passionate about and excited to accomplish is teaching girls about their changing bodies, periods, and sexual lives. Our society has created a major stereotype against talking about women's bodies and even made “period” a taboo word that young girls are afraid to talk about and experience. Most don’t even know what is happening to their bodies when they start to go through puberty and get their periods. Many feel scared and alone with going through this life changing experience. To go along with this, most adults are under the hopes that teenagers will participate in abstinence to prevent pregnancies, and while this is the expected outcome, many will not adhere to this and end up with unwanted pregnancies. Because most teens are not receiving medically accurate sex education and universal access to health and reproductive health care, they are unaware of the different types of birth control that are effective and ineffective and the consequences of unprepared sex such as STDs, STIs, and pregnancy. To help stop these stereotypes and stigmatizations, I want to form clubs and organizations that go around to schools to talk to young girls about everything they need to know in order to be the best and healthiest versions of themselves as they are growing up and becoming women in our society. I think it is important for our future generations to be prepared for what is to come and not be afraid to talk about it. Our society teaches young girls to be ashamed of their bodies and what happens with it, and I want to help change that and allow girls to see the beauty in their bodies and all the ways it helps and protects them. While I know going into college set on this career is going to be difficult, I’m excited to do the work that I’m passionate about. I’m ready to learn everything I can about gynecology and obstetrics to be able to help women with any and all problems they may face throughout their lives. I want to be able to form special bonds with my patients and help them throughout every important stage. With all of this said, I can not wait to start my journey and life as an OBGYN!

I’m very passionate about this area of medicine and cannot wait to learn everything about it. With this job, I’ll get to help women with issues relating to their mental health, sexual lives, pregnancies, and menstrual cycles, which I believe will be very fulfilling to me. One of the things I’m anticipating helping women with is infertility. In my lifetime, I’ve witnessed several family members and friends struggle with being unable to conceive a child and have seen firsthand the impacts it can have on the woman, couple, and their relationship. While I know in some cases infertility can be a permanent issue, it can sometimes be helped and treatments can result in a child for the couple. I want to be able to discuss with and assist them in their goals of conceiving. Something else I’m very passionate about and excited to accomplish is teaching girls about their changing bodies, periods, and sexual lives. Our society has created a major stereotype against talking about women's bodies and even made “period” a taboo word that young girls are afraid to talk about and experience. Most don’t even know what is happening to their bodies when they start to go through puberty and get their periods. Many feel scared and alone with going through this life changing experience. To go along with this, most adults are under the hopes that teenagers will participate in abstinence to prevent pregnancies, and while this is the expected outcome, many will not adhere to this and end up with unwanted pregnancies. Because most teens are not receiving medically accurate sex education and universal access to health and reproductive health care, they are unaware of the different types of birth control that are effective and ineffective and the consequences of unprepared sex such as STDs, STIs, and pregnancy. To help stop these stereotypes and stigmatizations, I want to form clubs and organizations that go around to schools to talk to young girls about everything they need to know in order to be the best and healthiest versions of themselves as they are growing up and becoming women in our society. I think it is important for our future generations to be prepared for what is to come and not be afraid to talk about it. Our society teaches young girls to be ashamed of their bodies and what happens with it, and I want to help change that and allow girls to see the beauty in their bodies and all the ways it helps and protects them. While I know going into college set on this career is going to be difficult, I’m excited to do the work that I’m passionate about. I’m ready to learn everything I can about gynecology and obstetrics to be able to help women with any and all problems they may face throughout their lives. I want to be able to form special bonds with my patients and help them throughout every important stage. With all of this said, I can not wait to start my journey and life as an OBGYN!
