About Me

Welcome to my Web page. I hope the information presented here will help you get to know more about me and how I can work with you to care for your health.

Biography

I was born and raised in the Michigan countryside. I went to nursing school at Michigan State University, worked as a nurse, and then decided to pursue becoming a physician. I moved to Chicago for medical school and returned to Michigan for my residency training. My husband is in the Navy, which brought us to San Diego. I have some family nearby in California and some in Michigan.

About my practice

I am an internal medicine physician, with an emphasis on screening and disease prevention. We have a wonderful team of doctors, nurse practitioners, nurses, and medical assistants. We work together to provide members with high-quality health care. Successful health care only happens when the member and the doctor work as a team.

How I thrive

I live well by spending time with family and friends and my pet shih tzu. I love traveling and adventures, and most of my vacations involve hiking and national parks. I enjoy bicycling, yoga, anything on the water, and reading in my spare time. I believe that to truly live, you must take care of your spirit, body, and mind.
