I was born in the Midwest and moved to California with my family in my teens. I attended UCLA undergraduate, medical school, and did my internship, residency and fellowship with UCLA-San Fernando Valley. I have continued as a clinical faculty member of UCLA. I work in Santa Clarita and Lancaster Kaiser Permanente clinics and see members at the Kaiser Permanente area hospitals. I love vacationing with my family and enjoy fishing, swimming, skiing, horseback riding, painting, and volunteering as a teacher of the fifth grade. I am a "Star Wars" enthusiast and a "Trekkie." I love "Star Trek."
