Doctor of Medical Science.
Always passionate about wellness, I have had a circuitous path toward where I am today. It started a long time ago at the University of Oregon, where I fell in love with Biology and Graduated with a Bachelors of Science degree. Always wanting to help people, and after several unfulfilling jobs, I decided to go back to school and between snowboarding sessions, obtained my nursing degree. I worked for 10 years as a nurse in just about every part of the hospital. I loved the job, but sustained a back injury at work, and found myself seeking healing. I found what I needed thru yoga, and delved deep into a yoga practice to repair my injury. Yoga did in fact provide the healing I was looking for and I became a certified yoga instructor, still teaching today, over twenty years after my first class. I started to get restless in my career as a nurse, and wanting more knowledge, and the ability to help more people, I went back to school again, obtaining my PAC and Masters of Medicine thru Stanford University and St. Francis University. Trained in the Primary Care program at Stanford University, I graduated in 2011. Since then I have worked in Internal Medicine in a small California town where I obtained my Doctorate through the University of Lynchburg. I am grateful for all of these experiences, as they have brought me to where I am today. Passionate about meeting my patients where they are, putting plans together, and helping them implement those plans, to acheive their health goals. I would like to help you to achieve your optimum health. Stay a while and look around. I am honored to serve you.
