When asked by her father what she wanted to be when she grew up, three-year-old Renée said she wanted to be a nurse. When her father asked, “Why not a doctor?”, she answered, “Girls can’t be doctors!” After her father told her that girls can be doctors, she shifted gears quickly. “Okay! I want to be a doctor!” And so, it began.

But, that was easier said than done. College was more challenging than she thought, but Renée finally graduated. Then, she spent a few more years trying hard and learning even more. She even worked as a tutor and high school science teacher before going to medical school. Renée entered medical school wanting to be a pediatrician, but changed her mind and is now an obstetrician-gynecologist. Dr. Renée delivers babies! She also helps students who want to become doctors, too!
