I was born and raised in Denver, CO, but have considered Ojai, CA home since 2002. I completed my undergraduate schooling at the University of Colorado, Boulder. I then attended the Child Health Associate/Physician Assistant Program with the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. There I was able to gain extra training in Pediatrics. I enjoy Family Medicine because I can treat the entire family and get to know my patients on a deeper, more personal level.

Outside of work, I am active in my church including short term missions to Mexico. I play flute and piccolo for the Ventura College Symphonic Orchestra. I also enjoy the outdoors,

Particularly running and skiing! I have been married to my husband, Joel, for 25 years, and we are proud to be Nana & Papa to two beautiful grandchildren!
