I am a pediatric endocrinologist, which means I treat the body's glands and organs that produce hormones. I care for children and adolescents with a wide range of endocrinology and diabetes needs.

I enjoy the long-term partnerships I can build with children and their families in this area of care. I believe my role as a doctor is to give families the knowledge and tools to meet their medical needs so that their child can continue living a joyful, playful and healthy life. I work with a team of care providers at OHSU along with each family to understand the family's concerns and set and achieve health goals. 

I am passionate about ensuring excellent diabetes and endocrinology care for all patients. Outside of clinicial care, my research has focused on describing and improving disparities in the care of patients with diabetes.

I was born in Rhode Island and have lived in the Northeast, Midwest and Eastern Washington. I am thrilled to have returned to the beautiful Pacific Northwest with my husband, a urologic oncologist. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, playing the ukulele and working on my Mandarin and Spanish skills.
