About me
Hello! Thank you for visiting my Web page. I am happy to take this opportunity to introduce myself and tell you about my practice. I feel very fortunate to work at Kaiser Permanente and look forward to working with you to care for your health.
Biography
I was born in the South but raised in Southern California. I moved to the East Coast for medical school, where I met my husband-to-be playing on a church volleyball team. I practiced medicine for a while on the East Coast. After having our son, we moved back to sunny California to be closer to my family. I joined the Kaiser Permanente family in 2011. My husband and I have two wonderful children that are the joy of our life.
About my practice
I decided to become a physician after serving on a medical mission trip to Mexico while in high school. I have always had a special interest in taking care of women and women’s issues due to my family history of ovarian cancer. I want to assist women in being advocates for their health. I believe it is an honor to serve and assist women with their health care. My goal is to treat every patient as I would my own family. I work with a team of physicians, certified nurse midwives, and nurse practitioners, and we strive to give you high-quality care. My practice encompasses the care of routine and complicated obstetrical and gynecological conditions. I have a special interest in minimally invasive surgery and office-based procedures. I also still enjoy volunteering my time in medical missions.
How I thrive
I believe it is very important to have a balance in life and to take time to remember what really matters. I feel blessed to work in an organization that supports having a balance in life. I run regularly to relieve stress and to enjoy the outdoors. I often take my two children with me in their double stroller. I love spending time with my husband and two kids. We are always looking for new places to explore together as a family on my days off.
