About Me

I grew up primarily in Wisconsin, spending a number of years researching and working abroad in Bolivia, Nepal, Kazakhstan, and Brazil in the field of public health. Working in public health helped me realize that I wanted to contribute more directly to individuals' well-being through a career in medicine. After attending the University of California, San Francisco, for medical school, I completed residency in emergency medicine at University of California, Davis, where I rotated though Kaiser Permanente hospitals. I came to appreciate the comprehensive approach to patient care that Kaiser Permanente exemplifies. I have been working with the organization ever since!

About my practice

I enjoy my role in the Emergency Department, where I can look after and treat patients from all walks of life. In addition to the pride I take in treating those with acute conditions, I believe strongly in Kaiser Permanente's approach to promoting health through proactive, preventive medicine and continuity of care.

How I thrive

I enjoy spending time outdoors with my family, especially hiking, skiing, and camping.
