I knew from a very young age that I wanted to pursue a career in health care. I have always enjoyed working with children and their families. I attended physician assistant school at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center because of the program's emphasis in pediatric medicine. I spent 12 years working in private practice before joining the pediatric team here at Kaiser Permanente. I have lived in Colorado all my life and my husband and I are so happy we chose to remain in this beautiful state to raise our twin boys.
