San Diego, CA

A San Diego native, I completed my undergraduate degree at UC San Diego (Warren College) and finished Medical School here. During Medical School I took a few years off to be a stay at home mom - the best decision of my life. I spent several years as a professional triathlete and cross country cyclist, and I really enjoy surfing and ocean swimming. I feel particularly comfortable working with students who are parents, student athletes, and those interested in Public Health. I have also been fortunate to work closely with our transgender students and am glad to be able to provide for their care on campus. Other interests include ENT Medicine, Sports Medicine and Travel Medicine.
