Brianna is a Psychiatrist and HPM physician who recently finished her fellowship at UCSF where she completed the Global Palliative Educational Collaborative (GPEC) track. She grew up in Cincinnati and earned her BA in Development Studies at Brown University. Halfway through medical school, she spent a year in Guatemala working on a culturally sensitive sexual education curriculum, perinatal medicine, and pediatric malnutrition. This instilled in her a deep appreciation for community inclusive initiatives through mutual learning and cultural respect. She continued this appreciation as a psychiatry resident at University of Arizona. Here she completed the Health Care Disparities and Spanish Speaking track, to learn more about thoughtful delivery of medicine to historically disenfranchised groups. She is also specialized in perinatal psychiatry. She is interested in the art of collaborative language-concordant communication in all settings, especially during difficult healthcare decision-making. Academically, her interests include the psycho-palliative intersection, international medicine, perinatal psychiatry, and culturally sensitive models of care. In her free time, she tries to spend as much time as possible on her yoga mat, hiking in the sunshine, exploring new places, and soaking up the company of her fabulous friends and family.
