Originally from New York, New York, I attended college at Villanova University before moving to Portland with my husband. I worked as a trauma intensive care unit nurse at Legacy Emanuel Medical Center prior to attending Oregon Health and Science University for my nurse anesthesia education. During my clinical training at Kaiser Permanente Sunnyside Medical Center and Sunnybrook Medical office, I experienced great teamwork and communication. That's when I knew I wanted to be part of this team. I currently live in Portland, Oregon, with my husband, daughter, and two dogs.
