After her Sc.B. in Biology & Medicine (magna cum laude, Brown University), she received her M.D. with honors (Duke University), alongside a NIH-sponsored clinical research training program. Her OB/GYN residency (New York Hospital-Weill Cornell Medical Center) was followed by REI fellowship and M.Sc. in Clinical Research Methods (Albert Einstein College of Medicine-Montefiore Medical Center). She has held Assistant Professor roles for the past decade, while at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai as RMANY-Brooklyn Medical Director, and now at CCRM Fertility Houston, where she is Director of Patient Education and Sugar Land Site Director.

Dr. Kudesia has spent the past 20 years holding leadership positions at the local, state, and national level with the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, American Society for Reproductive Medicine, American Medical Association, and more. In addition, she is a fierce advocate for reproductive rights and has been one of a select few Texas OB/GYNs willing to speak out about political interference in the practice of reproductive health, in person and via interviews with the Washington Post, Telemundo, and more. Her current professional goal is to help improve preconception health in every way possible, through advocacy, research, and awareness raising. She has presented and published widely, including writing the book, “Understanding Fertility Awareness Methods: Gaining Control of Your Fertility” and an upcoming TEDx talk on lifestyle as the foundational element of reproductive health and wellness.
