About me
Welcome! I am a physician assistant (PA), and I’d like to tell you more about my role at Kaiser Permanente. I am a highly trained healthcare professional who performs physical examinations, diagnoses and treats illnesses, prescribes medications, orders and interprets lab tests, and provides education and counseling. As part of our team-based care model at Kaiser Permanente, I work with physicians as a valuable part of your care team.
Biography
I grew up in Long Beach and am proud to still call it home. During my summers, I worked on a horse ranch and later competed in collegiate polo as part of a West Coast Division Championship team. While volunteering in hospitals throughout India, I discovered my passion for healthcare and was inspired to pursue a career dedicated to helping others improve their health and quality of life.
Outside of medicine, I enjoy horseback riding and remain actively involved in community service through a nonprofit preschool that provides free childcare and early education for children experiencing homelessness.
About my practice
Helping patients improve their health and well-being is one of the most rewarding aspects of my work. My approach is grounded in the belief that nutrition, physical activity, sleep, and other healthy lifestyle habits are essential to long-term health.
I strive to care for each patient as a whole person, recognizing the connection between physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. By combining evidence-based medicine with compassionate, individualized care, I help patients build sustainable strategies to achieve their health goals and lasting wellness.
I value Kaiser Permanente's integrated care model and the collaborative support it provides, allowing me to deliver comprehensive, patient-centered care.
How I thrive
Outside of work, I enjoy horseback riding, hiking, backpacking, and spending time with my large extended family. I've explored trails around the world, though California's Sierra Nevada remains my favorite destination. One of my most memorable outdoor accomplishments was completing Southern California's "8,000-meter challenge," summiting Mount Baldy, Mount San Gorgonio, and Mount San Jacinto in a single day.
Whether I'm in the mountains or with family, these experiences help me recharge, stay grounded, and maintain the balance that allows me to bring my best self to my patients.
