I have wanted to be in the medical field since I was a young child. Although I did not know it at the time, I was attracted to the intricacies of medicine and helping patients directly. I grew up in California and love every aspect of it. However, after obtaining my nursing degree I moved to Chicago to practice. I worked at Mount Sinai Hospital, one of the main trauma hospitals in the area. My experiences there helped me develop a strong work ethic, attention to detail and being adept at crisis management. After several years in Chicago, I decided to move back to the Bay Area and advance my career to become a Nurse Practitioner. I received my degree from Samuel Merritt University in Oakland. After completing my training, I decided to be a part of IPM Medical Group. I feel that I have excellent resources and support here to provide high quality care for my patients. My colleagues describe me as someone both my patients and coworkers can trust and rely on. I especially pride myself in always taking the extra effort to learn about each patient as if they were my own family members. My job as your NP is to provide safe, individualized care to all my patients to help alleviate your pain issues and get you back to better health.
