I am a native Oregonian that was raised in Salem, Oregon. My family includes my husband and two wonderful sons that keep me busy and on my toes when I am not working. I have always wanted to work in medicine and chose being a Physician Assistant when I was in college. I have played sports (soccer, basketball) my whole life which made orthopedic surgery a natural fit for me. I graduated from Oregon Health & Science University with a Masters in Physician Assistant Studies. After working in Los Angeles, California for three years in Pediatric Orthopedics, I moved home to Oregon and have been working at Kaiser Permanente in General Orthopedics Surgery.
I work part time in orthopedics sharing my time in a clinical practice and assisting in surgery. My practice consists of general orthopedics including all ages and orthopedic issues involving upper and lower extremities. I primarily assist Dr. Lin in surgery and enjoy sports medicine related injuries and surgeries. Also, due to my previous job in California, I enjoy working with kids of all ages.
Most of my time outside of work is spent with my family. I love my two boys and love spending time watching them grow and change. I also enjoy throwing a ball for our golden retriever dog. Any additional free time for me is spent playing on a recreational women's soccer team, attending church, watching cooking shows with my husband, or reading books. I come from a larger family with three sisters and one brother and spend many weekends at family gatherings.
