About me

I was born in Calgary, Canada. I went to the University of Calgary in Alberta, Canada, for my Bachelor of Science in Cellular, Molecular, and Microbial Biology, and to the University of Pittsburgh for my Master of Science in genetic counseling.  After graduate school, I chose to live in Hawaii because of its weather, beaches, people, and lifestyle.


Throughout my life's journey, everyone I've known has influenced me in some way.  I'm grateful to my parent for always supporting my interests and my commitment to education, and to all the friends I've met along the way. 

About my practice

Thinking about how traits are passed down from one generation to the next has always fascinated me.  At heart, I'm also a people person.  Genetic counseling merges the science of genetics with the people it impacts and it's the perfect profession for me.  My primary interest is the genetics of cancer, as nearly everyone is impacted by cancer in some way.  This practice is proactive, advocating for high-risk screening, early detection, and preventive care.  My particular professional interests include breast, colorectal, gastrointestinal, and gynecological cancer as well as pediatric and adult genetics.


I'm certified by the American Board of Genetic Counseling.  I've given talks for various groups in the community and in health care settings, including other individuals who work with cancer patients.  I love teaching and enjoy the opportunity to talk about my work.


The field of genetics constantly yields new and exciting developments.  The National Society of Genetic Counselors and its Cancer Special Interest Group provide a great network of colleagues and information that help me stay connected and current.  I also attend online webinars, travel to conferences, have regular meetings with colleagues to discuss clinical cases, and receive updates from my professional organization, the National Society of Genetic Counselors.  


The mission of Hawaii Permanente Medical Group is to help people lead healthy lives.  I appreciate the positive focus of our organization and its warm, welcoming "team" atmosphere.


My goal is to make a difference in people's lives.  I believe in being thorough, accurate, and optimistic.  I enjoy meeting with my patients, and I want them to feel comfortable and respected.  I learn from them every day.

How I thrive

Staying active helps us to be physically healthy, manage stress, and maintain a cheerful mental outlook. I practice yoga, exercise five times a week, and walk around Diamond Head. Outside of work, my husband and daughters are my priority. Children grow so fast, and I treasure their every moment. I’m inspired by my involvement at their school with projects that promote sustainability and healthy eating. I’m also fortunate to have good friends to help me to stay grounded.

Accommodations for Individuals with Disabilities

Kaiser Permanente is committed to providing accessible facilities, services, and programs for all members, visitors and individuals with disabilities. In compliance with federal and state laws that prohibit discrimination based on disability, Kaiser Permanente provides:

  1. accessible exam rooms and medical equipment;
  2. free auxiliary aids and services to ensure effective communication with individuals with hearing, vision, cognitive, and/or communication-related disabilities, including qualified sign language interpreter services and informational materials in alternative formats (large print, audio tape/CDs, accessible PDFs or Microsoft Word documents, electronic texts/disks/CD-ROMS, and Braille); and
  3. access to service animals, except where the animal poses a significant health or safety risk(s) to others.

For more information about access to a specific facility or provider, or if you believe that Kaiser Permanente has failed to provide appropriate access or services or otherwise discriminated on the basis of a disability, please contact Member Services toll-free 1-800-966-5955 or TTY 711, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. or Saturday, 8 a.m. – noon. You may also contact or file a grievance with the Kaiser Permanente Civil Rights Coordinator in person, by mail, fax or email at: 711 Kapiolani Blvd, Honolulu, Hawaii 96813, civil-rights-coordinator@kp.org, or toll-free 1-800-966-5955, TTY 711.

The availability and use of the Kaiser Permanente grievance procedure does not prevent a person from filing a complaint of discrimination on the basis of disability with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights or the Hawaii Civil Rights Commission.

Kaiser Permanente uses the same quality, member experience, or cost-related measures to select practitioners and facilities in Marketplace Silver-tier plans as it does for all other Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) products and lines of business and uses the same geographic distribution consideration to select hospitals in Marketplace plans as it does for all other Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) products and lines of business. The measures may include, but are not limited to, HEDIS/CAHPS performance, member/patient complaints, patient safety scores, hospital quality measures, and geographic need. 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.

A narrow network is defined as a tailored, tiered or high-performance network that has 80 percent or less overlap with a health plan’s broadest network offered to a member in any type of plan offered by that health plan. Kaiser Permanente does not have a narrow network with respect to its Marketplace plans. Members enrolled in Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) Marketplace plans have access to the same provider networks as members enrolled in all other KFHP plans.

Information about a practitioner is provided to us by the practitioner or is obtained as part of the credentialing process.
