About me
I was born and raised in southern Illinois and attended Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. I've lived in Seattle since 1997 and West Seattle since 2008. Ive been married for more than 20 years and have three wonderful daughters. There is a legacy in my family of giving service through health. My grandparents owned a local drugstore in a small town in Iowa, where my mother worked as a child. She later became a pharmacist (very rare for a woman in those days). As a physician, I have continued this legacy and added to it with the gratifying personal relationships that occur while delivering primary care.
About my practice
Kaiser Permanente is a place where all the systems are in place help me be a better doctor. My colleagues and I focus on working together to provide the care that is best for the patient. Kaiser Permanente also works to improve the health care industry as a whole, which I deeply appreciate. It is a privilege to be the primary care physician for people from diverse backgrounds, I learn as much from them as they do from me. I'm also on the Washington Kaiser Permanente Medical Group Board of Directors and serve on the board of Project Access, a community group dedicated to uninsured patients who require specialty care.
How I thrive
My life is extremely busy but I love watching my daughters play volleyball. I also follow the Seahawks and the Mariners. Occasionally you'll find me in front of a karaoke microphone or wandering around in the great outdoors.

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.
