About me
I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. I earned my undergraduate degree from the University of California, Berkeley, where I also graduated from optometry school. I moved to Washington state to complete a medical residency at the American Lake VA Hospital. I've remained in the Pacific Northwest ever since.
About my practice
I joined Kaiser Permanente in an aim to provide comprehensive eye care to patients of all ages and across all backgrounds. The health care delivery organization supports preventive care and offers the necessary facilities to manage and treat complex eye conditions and eye diseases. My approach to care is compassionate and individualized. I find the field of optometry challenging, and yet, rewarding because of the wide range of patients I'm able to see. From year to year, a patient's visual needs may change, and I enjoy the dynamic process of caring for patients throughout their lives.
How I thrive
I love exploring the beauty the Pacific Northwest has to offer. I enjoy staying active by hiking, paddle boarding, kayaking, and rock climbing. I'm also game for trying new restaurants and cuisines.

How we choose our network providers and hospitals
Kaiser Permanente uses the same quality, member experience, or cost-related measures to select practitioners and facilities in Marketplace Silver-tier plans as it does for all other Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) products and lines of business, and uses the same geographic distribution consideration to select hospitals in Marketplace plans as it does for all other Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) products and lines of business. The measures may include, but are not limited to, HEDIS/CAHPS performance, member/patient complaints, patient safety scores, hospital quality measures, and geographic need. Members enrolled in KFHP Marketplace plans have access to all professional, institutional and ancillary health care providers who participate in KFHP plans' contracted provider network, in accordance with the terms of the members' KFHP plan of coverage. All Kaiser Permanente Medical Group physicians and network physicians are subject to the same quality review processes and certifications.
A narrow network is defined as a tailored, tiered, or high-performance network that has 80 percent or less overlap with a health plan’s broadest network offered to a member in any type of plan offered by that health plan. Kaiser Permanente does not have a narrow network with respect to its Marketplace plans. Members enrolled in Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) Marketplace plans have access to the same provider networks as members enrolled in all other KFHP plans.
