Summary

I am an ideal candidate for the reproductive health shift due to my profound passion for fostering an inclusive space for all genders within reproductive health. My commitment to evidence-informed care aligns seamlessly with fertility work. As a queer woman, I bring a unique perspective, understanding firsthand the importance of creating a supportive environment for LGBTQ+ individuals seeking reproductive care. My dedication to inclusivity, coupled with my personal understanding of the challenges faced by the queer community, positions me as a valuable asset to the reproductive health shift, where I am committed to advocating for accessible and affirming reproductive care for everyone.
