A native New Yorker, I attended the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva New York, after completing a baccalaureate degree from Hunter College. I completed a residency in Obstetric and Gynecology at the North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset now known as Northwell Health. As a lifelong learner, I completed the Cornell Johnson Executive MBA/MS in Healthcare Leadership. And Policies
Upon completing residency in 1993, I opened a private practice in Manhasset. In 2015, I closed my private practice and then joined Health and Hospital Corporation working in Harlem. After completing that project, I joined NYU Langone where I work as an obstetrical patient safety officer. I currently work for Northwell Katz-LIJ as the Associate Chief of Labor and Delivery in the Department of OB/Gyn. I am also the Director of Diversity Equity and Inclusion for the service line for Northwell Health Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. I have published numerous articles, continue to do research in the field and have a podcast entitled Empowering Women on All about Us radio. I do a great deal of voluntary work with the Hofstra Medical School, my sorority the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated as well missionary work in Guatemala, Haiti, Africa and so many other underserved areas.
I’ve been featured in several magazines and news broadcast regarding my specialty. I also work as an expert witness for several law firms.
I am married 34years to my husband and we have our son who is 31 years old and autistic and our daughter who 26 years old and is a medical student. I can say that my love for the field of Ob/Gyn keeps me very busy.

Every day in America, people are killed by a gun and more are injured. Gun violence is now the leading cause of death for children and teens, surpassing motor vehicle crashes.
The impact is not only measured in lives lost but also in the long-lasting trauma felt by families and entire communities.
As physicians and advocates, the National Medical Association (NMA) affirms that gun violence is not just a criminal justice issue, it is a public health emergency. Addressing it requires data-driven prevention strategies, equitable health policies, and community-centered solutions.
We stand committed to advancing research, strengthening gun safety laws, and supporting interventions that protect the health and future of Black communities and all Americans.
Health professionals must raise their voices. Together, we can turn tragedy into action.
