About Me

Welcome to Kaiser Permanente! I feel very fortunate to be a part of the Kaiser Permanente family as we work together to provide our members with high-quality medical care.

 

Biography

 

My journey in medicine began during my undergraduate studies at UCLA when I discovered that my desire to help others and love for the sciences could be realized by becoming a physician. I went on to complete medical school training at Ohio State University, after which I decided to return to my roots in Southern California for the remainder of my training. I chose to subspecialize in the field of rheumatology to manage complex diseases and improve the quality of people's lives.

 

About my practice

 

I believe in truly partnering with members in their care. It is important to me to understand members’ perspectives so that we can make informed medical decisions together.

 

How I thrive

 

I am learning more and more how important thankfulness is, and I try to practice gratitude every day. I have many hobbies as well, but spending quality time with my family and friends and exercising regularly are at the top of my list.
