About me
I grew up in Seattle and am happy to call the beautiful Pacific Northwest my home. I did my undergraduate work at the University of Washington and earned a master's in public health at Harvard University. During that time, I did field work in Bangladesh for underserved populations. It was inspiring to see how public health programs can be successful with a team approach between patients, community, and providers. I went to medical school at the University of Washington where I met my husband, who shares my passion for medicine and preventive care. We have 2 wonderful children who keep us busy and centered.
About my practice
I chose to practice at Kaiser Permanente for its dedication to quality care and its comprehensive, patient-centered health care model. I believe that strong patient-physician relationships are key to great health care and outcomes. I embrace the opportunity to build relationships with my patients based on communication, trust, and shared decision-making. I chose internal medicine because it combines meticulous diagnosis with attention to both acute and chronic health needs and cohesive interdisciplinary management. I feel privileged to be an advocate for my patients and to walk with them throughout their health care journey. My areas of expertise include internal medicine, preventative medicine, women's health, and mental health.
How I thrive
I love exercising and the outdoors. I enjoy running, vegetable gardening, and camping in the beautiful Pacific Northwest with my husband and children. I also practice healthy eating and enjoy trying out new recipes. Traveling with my family is another way that I stay healthy, motivated, and inspired.

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.
