About me

Welcome! I am a certified nurse-midwife (CNM), and I’d like to tell you more about my role at Kaiser Permanente. I am a highly trained healthcare professional who cares for you before, during, and after your pregnancy, as well as delivering your baby. For your well-woman care needs I perform physical examinations, diagnose and treat illnesses, prescribe medications, order and interpret lab tests, provide family planning, and birth control 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'm originally from the San Francisco Bay Area and now enjoy living in San Diego where I can swim in the ocean, bike on the roads, and run along the beach all in the same day. My interest in women's health began at a young age with a fascination for pregnancy and childbirth. Over time, that interest grew into a passion for supporting reproductive health throughout every stage of a woman's life. I studied public health at the University of California, Berkeley, and completed my midwifery training at the University of California, San Francisco.

 

About my practice

 

I care for patients across a broad range of reproductive health needs, including pregnancy, birth, family planning, and cervical cancer screening. My approach is grounded in shared decision-making and evidence-based practice. I work closely with physicians and nurses to provide high-quality, coordinated care and to help patients make informed decisions that align with their goals and preferences.

 

How I thrive

 

Outside of work, I spend much of my time training for triathlons, with my sights set on Ironman races. Endurance sports have given me a deep appreciation for strength, health, and the opportunity to improve myself each day.
