I grew up in Virginia. I received my undergraduate degree from Princeton University, and obtained my medical degree at Vanderbilt University. I completed my residency at the Cleveland Clinic and fellowship at New York University School of Medicine. I moved to Colorado for the great climate and great outdoors to begin my career with Kaiser Permanente in 2004. I am a member of the American Board of Dermatology, board certified in dermatology and dermatopathology.
