After attending Brown University, I worked in an HIV community center and took care of high risk babies before attending medical school at Jefferson Medical College. I trained in surgery at University of California, San Francisco and UCSF East Bay. My work usually consists of long hours in the hospital and peer reviewed research, but I am also interested in social justice. I live and work in Oakland, California where I am married to a professional bassoonist. As mommy to 4 year old twins and as a cancer surgeon, I am always humbled. Someday, I aspire to play the oboe more.","brand":"Twinberry Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52127634620690,"sku":"9781735938509","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_830bab6b-a2b5-45b8-94d3-8d6df369ee0c.jpg?v=1773740314","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/little-birds-big-message-9781735938509","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
