Originally from central Washington, I have lived up and down the West Coast, and in the Midwest for graduate school at the Medical College of Wisconsin. I returned to Washington to complete my residency in Family Medicine at one of the University of Washington affiliate programs. After finishing residency, I started a small practice and worked there for seven years before making my move to Portland, Oregon and Kaiser Permanente Northwest. I have really enjoyed living in Portland and am glad to build my family here.
