About me
I was born and raised in Seattle. I earned my medical degree from Creighton University in Nebraska, and completed my residency training at Providence St Peter Hospital in Olympia. I am happily married to my best friend with whom I grew up. Upon completion of my training, we returned to Seattle to be near our families. I discovered my love of medicine in a high school health sciences biology class. That class plus a variety of life experiences inspired me to become a doctor. Medicine allows me to combine my loves of teaching, learning, and interacting with people.
About my practice
My best diagnostic tool is listening closely to my patients. I do my best to answer their questions or direct them to the appropriate provider that can. I try to be empathetic and understanding, and to imagine myself in their situation. I have a wide variety of interests in medicine, and love the mix of people I see, from young to old. I enjoy getting to know my patients and their families. I believe it improves my ability to care for them. I am interested in full-spectrum medicine, though I no longer practice obstetrical (maternity) medicine. I chose to join this organization because it is always forward-thinking, emphasizes prevention and relies on evidence-based medicine.
How I thrive
I am a travel hound, and have a long list of places I would like to visit. Many of those places are warm and potentially involve snorkeling and wildlife, but historical places are also on the list. I stay busy with family activities, cooking, and quiet time for reading. I started training in Tae Kwon Do at the age of 43, which proves that you are never too old. I am also a die-hard Star Wars fan. Empire Strikes back was the best in case anyone asks. I am also a big fan of the TV series Firefly: If you can't do something smart, do something right.

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.
