An Interview With Rachel

What led you to the field of obstetrics/gynecology?

When I had my first child, I realized the importance of having a supportive OBGYN team; I knew then that I wanted to do this for others. Since that time, I have been privileged to support thousands of women and their families, which has been very rewarding.

How many years have you been practicing in the field?

I have been practicing in the field, first as a L&D nurse and then as a Nurse Practitioner, for over 10 years.

What makes your job rewarding?

Having the opportunity to support women and their families, which in turn makes their experience more pleasant.

What do you enjoy about your work?

I enjoy educating my patients. It is through education that one not only becomes informed, but they become empowered as well.

What brought you to the area and to the Woman’s Health Pavilion?

I have worked in Labor and Delivery, at Long Island Jewish Medical Center since 2006 alongside the doctors at WHP. As a nurse, I had a backstage look at all of the doctors and staff. This practice was the paradigm of professionalism and it is an honor to be asked to work with them.

What do you enjoy doing in your free time?

When I am not at work my time is spent with my family. I have 4 children, ages ranging from 1-13 years old. I am committed to a healthy life style that includes exercising at least 3 times a week. I also enjoy reading, cooking and traveling.
