About me

Welcome to my Web page. I’m happy to have this chance to introduce myself to you and tell you about my practice. I feel very fortunate to work at Kaiser Permanente because of my wonderful colleagues and patients, and I look forward to working with you to care for your health.

Biography

A Minnesota native and survivor of many sub-zero winters, I came to sunny California after finishing my residency. It is here that I have made a home with my husband, my two boys, and my cats. I knew that I wanted to be a doctor after taking a first aid course when I was a child. I knew that I wanted to be able to make a real difference in people’s lives, and practicing medicine gives me that opportunity. I spend my free time volunteering at my children’s school, serving on the medical advisory board in our school district, and volunteering in Boy Scouts. I also like to read, run, and cross-stitch.

About my practice

To me, a career in medicine is a very special opportunity to connect to and help people in a meaningful way, not just by utilizing medical skills and knowledge but also listening and responding to what my patients need. It’s a privilege to help them understand what they may not grasp, facilitate getting them the appropriate evaluations, and communicate with them and their families. I feel very honored to be entrusted with my patients’ care, and I strive to treat them no differently than I would any member of my family.

How I thrive

Keeping balance in my life is very important to me. I am an avid runner and have been all my life. I run daily and compete in local 5K and 10K runs. I also try to eat healthily and enjoy cooking nutritious meals for my family. My one vice is chocolate, but I try to eat it only in moderation. I serve as the chairperson of our local Care for the Caregiver committee, which aims to help physicians take care of themselves in body, mind, and spirit. Keeping physicians healthy helps them take better care of their patients.
