About me
I was born in Wisconsin but grew up in Minnesota. I'm not much for cold winters, so I've enjoyed living in the Seattle area for the past 10 years. I became a nurse practitioner after working in a clinic run by the Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner (ARNP) organization, part of the AmeriCorps volunteer program. ARNP's commitment to education and quality patient care really inspired me. Currently I'm the co-chair of the ARNP work group and team lead within our clinic cluster. I'm also happily married with a lovely daughter.
About my practice
I chose to join Kaiser Permanente because of the opportunity to provide multidisciplinary, collaborative primary care. Our team includes not only providers but nurses, pharmacists and social workers, making it much easier to treat the whole patient. As a nurse practitioner, I strive to meet patients where they are in their lives. In my view, my patients and I are a team, working together to improve their health. I love that I get to partner with such a diverse group of patients, from whom I learn something every day.
How I thrive
I'm a runner and have run three marathons, including the Boston Marathon. My family and I love to travel and hike, and every year we enjoy a fun camping trip. I work hard to live and behave in ways that I talk with patients about in clinic. To stay healthy I focus on eating fresh foods and exercising daily. I also use gardening as a form of meditation.

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.
