About Me

Thank you for visiting my Web page and getting to know more about me! I feel privileged to help members stay healthy and live long and productive lives! My goals are to help kids grow up healthy with good lifestyle habits to become thriving and successful adults.

Biography

I wanted to become a doctor and work with children ever since I was a little girl and saw hungry and malnourished Ethiopian children on TV. When I was 9 years old, my family moved from a small town in the French Alps to Los Angeles. I completed my residency training in New York, which was where I met my husband. After 5 years of winters, the sunshine of Los Angeles was calling me back.

How I thrive

When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my husband and children. I enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, jogging, and bike riding, but I really love walks by the beach. I like to relax by drawing and painting. I played on a National Women’s Rugby League and still love to toss the ball around with my kids.
