I am a product of Seattle-- born at Swedish Hospital, raised on Capitol Hill, and educated in Seattle public schools. I studied public health as an undergraduate at University of Washington and later returned to University of Washington School of Medicine. Before medical school, I worked for several years at Swedish coordinating clinical trials. I know Seattle well and have seen it change over the years. I love the diversity of its people and its natural beauty. I have witnessed its explosive growth and the associated crisis of income disparity and homelessness. Now, I am excited to be back at Swedish Hospital to learn the art and skills of Family Medicine. During my free time, I love escaping to the woods and water with my husband and friends. I enjoy baking, backpacking, gardening, fishing, traveling, and playing music with my family and friends.
