Ayaka first became interested in women’s health while working as a medical scribe in the UNC Emergency Department, where she repeatedly observed the pervasive and debilitating effects of post-partum depression on both new and experienced mothers. Given this, her current career and research aspirations are to focus on advancing reproductive health equity and perinatal mental health. Overall, she is excited to learn how to advocate for women’s health across a wide variety of disciplines and specialties.
