About me
I am originally from Southeastern Michigan. I received my undergraduate and medical degree from Michigan State University. I came to Denver to complete my internal medicine residency at Saint Joseph Hospital, and I am thrilled to be joining the Kaiser Permanente health system!
About my practice
I chose a career in primary care because I love to get to know my patients and create long-term doctor-patient partnerships. I strive to make every patient I encounter feel respected and sincerely cared for, no matter what their age, sex, gender, sexual orientation, race, weight, etc. I am an excellent listener and I hope that every patient I encounter feels that all of their concerns were addressed. We are a team, and we will work together to achieve your health care goals!
How I thrive
My favorite hobby is lifting weights. I have always enjoyed being active, but I first became fascinated by weightlifting in medical school (while I was learning about all of the muscles in anatomy lab)! I love that this hobby keeps me fit and healthy and that my husband and I can have weekly "gym dates" together. In fact, my husband's first words to me were to challenge me to a weightlifting competition (which I am still trying to beat him at)! We also love to go hiking with our miniature poodle rescue dog - Humphrey.
