I am board certified in Ob/Gyn and Urogynecology and Reconstructive Surgery (URPS), Professor of Ob/Gyn and Urology at Georgetown University and Urogynecology Fellowship Program Director at MedStar Washington Hospital Center/Georgetown University. I completed my Urogynecology fellowship in 2005 at Johns Hopkins University, Ob/Gyn residency at Brown University. I am committed to furthering the knowledge and understanding of pelvic floor disorders through education, research and peer collaboration. I am currently on the AUGS board of directors, working as the education council liaison. I also serve as a senior advisory board member for the AUGS/SGS Fellows Pelvic Research Network and member of the AUGS registry committee (prior vice chair). I am a former director of AUGS FPMRS Fellows Cadaver Course for 8 years and still attend as a faculty member. I am a current SGS member and served for multiple years on the SGS research committee and as the 2017 Scientific Program Chair for the annual meeting. I am an ABOG subspecialty URPS oral board examiner. I regularly present my research at the AUGS annual meeting, participate in postgraduate courses, panel discussions, moderate scientific sessions and publish in the AUGS Urogynecology journal. My primary research interests involve surgical outcomes and multicenter research including the role for uterine conservation, apical support procedures and perioperative complications. Over the past 20 years with the International Organization for Women and Development (IOWD), I performed complex fistula repairs during annual missions to Africa, and serve on their medical advisory board. I also served as a site PI for the FDA vaginal mesh research, an expert reviewer and defense witness for the class action lawsuits against midurethral slings and a member of the Boston Scientific strategic advisory board.
