I retired from United States Public Health Service on February 1, 2017. Now I volunteer for the foundation which supports health equality among all of us in the world.

I specialized in women's health research and worked as a physician and research scientist in Bethesda, Maryland. I lead a research effort on primary ovarian insufficiency, a condition that causes infertility and symptoms of menopause in young women.

After receiving my Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Pittsburgh in 1973, I completed a residency in obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Southern California. I spent several years in private practice in Lynchburg, Virginia before returning to academia to complete a clinical research attachment at Hammersmith Hospital in London, a fellowship in reproductive endocrinology at George Washington University, and a research fellowship at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland, USA, where I worked for 26 years.

In addition to an M.D., I hold an M.B.A. from George Mason University in Fairfax, VA where I concentrated my studies on human resource management and the management of nonprofit organizations.

I am the author of more than 100 publications including the February 2009 New England Journal of Medicine article "Primary Ovarian Insufficiency" (formerly known as premature menopause or premature ovarian failure). In addition I edited numerous publications for other scientists. I was invited to give talks not only in US but also in Europe, Middle East, Asia, Canada, South and Central America.

I was run out of town by the Ku Klux Klan in Elm City, NC in the summer of 1964. I was there as part of a summer work camp project organized by Southminster Presbyterian Church.
