About

Orli has worked for nearly three years as an outpatient OBGYN medical assistant. In this role, she served patients from across the Chicagoland area -- assisting in routine annual visits, family planning, contraception, outpatient procedures, and OB care. Orli is interested in all things reproductive justice, gender affirming care, and equitable women's healthcare access!

After completing her MPH, Orli wants to continue on to gain her MD to become an OBGYN. She hopes to join the effort to expand reproductive health services to care deserts across the country. Orli hopes to complete a fellowship in Complex Family Planning to focus on research and clinical practice of contraception and complex abortion care.

Fun Fact: Orli wants to swim in every Great Lake! So far she's swam in Lake Michigan (my favorite), Lake Superior, and Lake Ontario!
