Profile

I studied in London and have recently moved to India for a brief training. I like to call my house a mini zoo, complete with my 5 puppies, 3 cats, multiple birds and this monkey who comes every summer. I am a  geneticist by profession and puppy cuddler by passion. I’ve been told I have almost photographic memory. I love cooking and have recently been bitten by the travel bug.

My work mostly involves high risk obstetrics including advance maternal age mothers and artificial reproductive technology conceived pregnancies. I follow patients through their pregnancy scans, counsel them about the investigations seen on scans or in their blood works and along with doctors try and manage the health of the mother and baby.

My typical work day is about 10-12 hours, six days a week. A hospital duty never sees days off. I start my day with seeing patients through their pregnancy ultra sound sonograms to check for the baby’s development. Then I counsel the patients about what we saw and if there is anything that can be done. I would then take the patient and would discuss their case with a gynecologist who would prescribe medication or further intervention as needed. I also watch surgeries and sometimes go to the lab where they grow the babies in dishes (it’s pretty cool !!!)
