Learn more about me

When did you realise you felt a vocation for medicine and gynaecology, and what led you to specialise in fertility?

I have always been a very empathetic person, who cares a lot about helping others. I knew that my vocation was to help other people, and when my older sister started medicine, I realized that I wanted to be a doctor too. After I entered the field of gynaecology, I quickly saw that my best strength as a gynaecologist would be in reproduction. I always knew I wanted to have children, and it bothered me to think that there were people who couldn’t easily get pregnant.

As Tambre's medical director, what aspects of the clinic would you highlight, and why patients should trust the team you lead?

I’d like to focus on the human touch and the close treatment that all my team offers. The involvement of each one of us from the beginning to the end of the process with each one of our patients, working until we achieve a positive result.

Do you remember your first positive beta test? Have you got used to them?

I remember a gynaecologist’s comment that I liked. She told me, “It makes me happy to bring children into the world (deliver babies), but it makes me even happier to help women achieve the pregnancy they long for.” In my case, every time I have a positive beta I get a smile on my face and I’m happy all day.

What are the challenges you face with your patients in the area of infertility?

Confidence, and making sure they don’t lose the will to continue with the procedure until it is successful. Our society doesn’t tolerate frustrations and expects instant gratification. So when something gets difficult, we get worried and even feel like giving up.

Is there a success story that has particularly marked you or one that you are especially proud of?

I have one particular story in mind. It’s about a patient who comes from the other side of the world, from Canada, who had a severe problem with the uterus for many years. We managed to help her have her baby. It was a particularly nice case for me because she was one of my first international patients, and it made me appreciate how difficult it is to develop trust, empathy and security with patients who are on another continent.

And on a more personal note, what do you like to do in your free time?

I love being with my family, going for walks, going to the beach, resting, enjoying a good meal and a good glass of wine. I love to enjoy a bit of peace and quiet. When my schedule permits, I love to travel!
