Dr. Tjaden loves caring for kids and working with their families. She is thrilled to begin her pediatrics training at OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital. She loves getting to know families and seeing her patients grow and develop over time. Dr. Tjaden grew up in Idaho, but has been a Pacific Northwest local for the last 10 years. After moving from Washington, she enjoys exploring her new Oregon home, from the ocean to the mountains, with her husband and their dog.

Outside of the hospital, you might find her searching for her next favorite book or trying to find the city's best Thai food.
