Physician Assistant

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Biology with a Geography Minor from the University of Washington and completed my Master of Physician Assistant Practice from the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California. Initially, I wanted to work in a career in international public health, but I realized that there is such a need in healthcare here, closer to home. My true desire is to provide care to underserved communities and underserved patients. I combined my love for science and children and eventually found a career here at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. I really enjoy the challenges and joys that come along with working with this special population of children. I have also been an active leader at CHLA and was the Chair of the inaugural Physician Assistant Committee for four years.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, two children, dogs, and traveling as often as possible.
