Patrice is currently a medical student at Rush Medical College in the Class of 2023. From California’s Bay Area, Patrice grew up passionate about women’s reproductive health and rights, which led her to participate in Planned Parenthood Generation Action and intern in the MIU at St. John’s Hospital during college. Before pursuing her MD, she worked as a Health Services Specialist and Medical Assistant at Planned Parenthood and a San Francisco Ob/Gyn clinic, respectively. 

​

These years solidified her passion for advancing women’s health through destigmatizing the female body, strengthening the right to choose, and making equal, quality care accessible to people from all backgrounds. During her free time, Patrice serves on the executive board for Rush Students for Choice, is the steer for Reproductive Health Advocates for Adolescents, and is a certified yoga instructor working to empower people through mindful movement on their mats.
