Curriculum vitae and education

Born in 1974 in Seoul, South Korea, I grew up as an adopted daughter in a Swiss family in the Zurich Oberland. After the cantonal school I studied medicine in 1996. I completed my specialist training as a gynecologist at various Swiss hospitals and in gynecological offices. In January 2018 I opened my own office in Zurich-Oerlikon. The focus of my medical work is the competent and value-neutral consultation of unplanned pregnant women and the performance of abortions (termination of pregnancy).

My consultation is value-neutral. I also support women who decide against abortion after my counselling. I offer all the usual treatments in gynecology and obstetrics, with the exception of the general practitioner work in the hospital.

Autonomy and the right to self-determination as a woman have always been important to me. Already early self-employed, I earned my own money with various jobs. Besides studying medicine, I cultivated an interesting and contrasting life. Music, going to concerts, travelling and cooking are among my favorite activities. In self-study and with private teachers I taught myself Greek and Portuguese.

In the medical office I offer all the usual treatments in gynecology and obstetrics. I do not have a general practitioner’s job at a hospital. My speciality is ambulant abortion.
