About Me

Welcome to my Web page, and thank you very much for taking the time to read my profile! I am proud to be part of the Kaiser Permanente healthcare system, and it is an honor and privilege to be your partner in health. Being a positive part of members’ lives is what I love most about my career in medicine.

Biography

I was born and raised in Ridgecrest, California. I earned my bachelor’s degrees in both biology and psychology because I felt that I would be most effective as a physician, studying and understanding both body and mind. After completing my medical training on the East Coast, I learned to truly appreciate life in California and happily made sunny San Diego my permanent residence.

About my practice

As an internist, I mostly care for seniors and older adults. I encourage members to use Kaiser Permanente’s abundance of resources to the fullest extent.

How I thrive

I believe in a healthy, balanced lifestyle with plenty of exercise and laughter. I do my best to practice what I preach and make sure to meet my physical, intellectual, social, and spiritual needs. I love spending time doing anything outdoors, trying/making new foods, and most of all spending time with my husband and children.
