What inspired you to join California IVF Fertility Center?
I joined California IVF for its commitment to compassionate, personalized care. I value building meaningful relationships with patients and guiding them through one of life’s most important journeys. California IVF’s patient-centered approach aligns with my belief that fertility care should be both medically advanced and emotionally supportive.
Can you share a meaningful example of how your work as an APRN has positively impacted a patient’s life?
One of the most rewarding parts of my work is helping patients feel heard during vulnerable times. I once cared for a couple who had faced multiple losses and were hesitant to try again. By understanding their history and creating a personalized plan, they successfully conceived. Their joy reminded me of how empathy and trust can shape outcomes.
In your experience, when is the ideal time for someone to consider seeking fertility treatment?
Seek fertility care if you’re concerned about conceiving or want to be proactive. Infertility is defined as trying for a year (under age 35) or six months (35+). If you’re at that point, have a known condition or want to preserve fertility, early consultation offers clarity and options. If you need help, I am here to guide you on your journey to being a parent.
