I grew up in Tacoma, Washington. I completed my undergraduate education at the University of California, San Diego, and attended Des Moines University College of Podiatric Medicine and Surgery. I'm proud to say that my entire career and training have been with Kaiser Permanente. I completed training at the Kaiser Permanente San Francisco Bay Area Foot and Ankle Residency Program. After about 5 years of practicing at Kaiser Permanente Fontana Medical Center, I decided the time was right to move back home to be closer to family and friends. I chose to join Kaiser Permanente because of their evidence-based, collaborative approach to care. I enjoy working as a team with excellent clinicians and staff who are all striving to provide the highest level of care to our patients.
