Why this specialty and why now?
When I was doing OB-GYN [training] in Vermont, a friend of a friend was working in Uganda at an HIV clinic. I went to Uganda for two months and loved it. I was so inspired by the people I met. They’re completely hopeful. I left there feeling I really wanted to work with women…[in] the context of HIV. I’m still doing some international work and I’m involved in research and clinical trials, but most of my time here is providing care to pregnant woman with HIV. People know that when someone is pregnant and has an HIV diagnosis, they can call me. It’s an incredibly hopeful area…and a wonderful thing. I take care of about 40 pregnant women [with HIV] a year.
Any other interests?
I’m a yoga teacher and I teach at Seattle Yoga Arts. It’s a passion. I teach Anusara.

A Citywide Toast to Sockeye
40 Seattle-area restaurants are teaming up for the fourth annual Bristol Bay Salmon Week.
Seattle’s fishing culture is something to be proud of. Drive over the Ballard Bridge on any given day and you’ll see the fleet docked below. The weathered, working boats stacked with gear, waiting for their next trip north, are striking, aren’t they? It’s hard, dangerous work, and there’s something so compelling and fierce about the…
Restaurant Roundup: Halal Bagels and Mario Party
Here’s what was served up recently in the Emerald City.
OK, we’ll say it—we love Seattle Restaurant Week, but it also gives us a little bit of anxiety and a lot of FOMO. There are just so many choices. Hundreds of restaurants, food carts, cafes, and bars can be a tad overwhelming, but 10? That’s a much more manageable number. Thankfully, Secret Seattle put together…
