Where I practice
About me
Originally a California native, I attended Swarthmore College where I majored in the classics. I spent time after college working as a clinical research coordinator in New York City, which sparked my interest in a career in surgery. I attended St. George's University in the West Indies and completed my general surgery residency at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska. I enjoyed working with colorectal patients in medical school and residency, which led me to pursue a colorectal surgery fellowship. I joined Kaiser Permanente as a colorectal surgeon in 2025.
About my practice
I am part of a multidisciplinary team that strives to provide the best care to our patients. I treat benign abdominal and anorectal conditions, pelvic floor disorders, and cancers. I believe in educating patients and tailoring treatment plans to the individual. I perform open and minimally invasive (laparoscopic and robotic) surgeries for abdominal pathologies.
How I thrive
When I am not working, I enjoy running, traveling, and spending time with friends and family. I try to exercise every day so that I can be my healthiest self each day.

Members enrolled in KFHP Marketplace plans have access to all professional, institutional and ancillary health care providers who participate in KFHP plans' contracted provider network, in accordance with the terms of the members' KFHP plan of coverage. All Kaiser Permanente Medical Group physicians and network physicians are subject to the same quality review processes and certifications.
