About me

Welcome to my Web page! I’m excited to have this opportunity to introduce myself to you and tell you about myself.

 

Biography

 

Originally from Southern California, I’ve always had a deep passion for healthcare, and becoming an obstetrician-gynecologist felt like a natural and comfortable path. I graduated from UCLA with a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology, graduating with honors. I went on to earn my medical degree from the University of the Health Sciences/Chicago Medical School in Illinois. My residency was completed at Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke’s Medical Center in Chicago.After 11 years in private practice in the suburbs of Chicago, I joined the Kaiser Permanente family in 2005. While I was in Barrington, Illinois, I had a thriving private practice, served as the department chairman at our local hospital, and volunteered with numerous local charitable organizations. I’m also proud to be the mother of 3 beautiful adult daughters, the owner of an adorable yellow lab, and the partner of a loving fiancé. Finding balance between being a physician, surgeon, mother, and partner remains my constant challenge, and I’m always striving to improve in all these areas.

 

About my practice

 

I am privileged to work with a team of physicians here in Orange County, supported by a compassionate and dedicated team of medical assistants and nurses at our San Juan Capistrano and Irvine/Sand Canyon Medical Offices. I am grateful to be part of a progressive obstetrics-gynecology department that allows me to focus on providing quality care for women. My practice encompasses full-scope women’s health, including obstetrics and gynecologic surgery, and I am also a certified menopause practitioner.

 

How I thrive

 

As an athlete, I prioritize staying both physically and mentally fit, regularly engaging in hiking and strength training. In the past, I’ve led a Kaiser Permanente running group for the Disney Half Marathon, and I’ve participated in several local half marathons, 5Ks, and I even ran the full Chicago Marathon in 2012.
