About Me

I grew up in Southern California and went to California State University, Long Beach for my undergraduate degree in nursing. I worked for five years as a pediatric and emergency room nurse before getting my master's in anesthesia at California State University, Fullerton/Kaiser Permanente School of Anesthesia. In 2007, I moved to Portland, Oregon, with my husband and two boys.

About my practice

I recognize that undergoing anesthesia for a surgery or procedure can be a frightening undertaking, and I do my best to make each patient feel at ease and assure them that I would take care of them like I would my own family. At the end of the day, I like to go home knowing I did the best I could for each person I cared for.

How I thrive

I like to spend my free time knitting, gardening, and cooking for my family. I also enjoy biking, yoga, and hiking.
