She is an educator, researcher, and state-level advocate who cares for patients across the lifespan and is committed to ensuring people can access safe, evidence-based care without barriers.Her research has helped guide national conversations about postpartum birth control, including a major clinical trial published in JAMA comparing different timing options for IUD placement after childbirth. She has also studied patient experiences with contraception counseling, how Medicaid coverage affects abortion access in Illinois, and how reproductive policies shape real-world healthcare. She has participated in policy discussions with leaders including Kamala Harris and Nancy Pelosi. She has testified before lawmakers, appeared in media outlets such as WBEZ and the Chicago Sun-Times, and regularly speaks about abortion access, reproductive justice, and menopause care. She is especially passionate about reframing perimenopause and menopause as essential parts of lifelong reproductive health and gender equity, and about calling attention to how the long-standing lack of menopause research reflects broader gender bias in medicine.Shanta N.
