Joined March 2017
1st gen American - mom’s family live in Mauritius (small African island) for 150+ yrs. I went to school not knowing how to speak English. Being first in whole fam to be a future doctor means I sometimes feel alienated. But then I see my grandma’s award from Mauritian gov’t...
I’ll play. Came to the US at age 5 with Mom. Didn’t speak English. We lived in a basement for two years. Had no car. Mom get her PhD when I was 10. I graduated from @StanfordMed 16 yrs later. This is happiness. #HappyImmigrantDocs

Increased maternal infection and cesarean delivery rates with increasing time of ruptured membranes in late preterm PPROM…additionally no short term neonatal respiratory benefits (which is interestingly the appeal of expectant management). Grateful to share this work!
So proud of my resident @millidesai for her poster of our work! Delay after late preterm PPROM resulted in higher maternal infection! @MySMFM #SMFM25 @UCSD_ObGyn

When your Chair is @MySMFM President and has the most uplifting interview with honorary SMFM member @RepUnderwood to not give up on the issue of maternal health equity, especially during difficult times for public health! 🤩 @drcynthiagyamfi

Really lucky to be mentored by research legend @drcynthiagyamfi and to be surrounded by inspiring colleagues/scholars at @UCSD_ObGyn!
Way to hit it out of the park @millidesai! My resident presented our work at resident research day. Expectant management of late preterm #PPROM may not be the best for the mother. @UCSD_ObGyn 👏🏾👏🏾
