Following her education, she became board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology & reproductive endocrinology and infertility by the American Board of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ABOG). The ABOG is a non-profit organization that provides board certification for practicing obstetricians and gynecologists in the United States and Canada.

Reproductive endocrinology and infertility (REI) is a surgical subspecialty of obstetrics and gynecology that trains physicians in reproductive medicine addressing hormonal functioning as it pertains to reproduction, as well as the issue of infertility. While most REI specialists primarily focus on the treatment of infertility, reproductive endocrinologists are trained to also evaluate and treat hormonal dysfunctions in females and males outside after the reproductive years.

On a more personal note, Dr. Nani is a native of Los Angeles. Her favorite group is The Grateful Dead. In her spare time, she likes to ride motorcycles if the weather permits it, and do crossword and jigsaw puzzles.
