After earning a degree in print journalism at USC, Dr. Villamagna completed medical school and internal medicine residency in her home state of Nevada, followed by ID fellowship at OHSU. She then completed the Leadership in Epidemiology, Antimicrobial Stewardship, and Public Health (LEAP) Fellowship, during which she worked with Oregon Health Authority to study risk factors for large COVID outbreaks in long-term care facilities.

Dr. Villamagna’s clinical interests include inpatient and outpatient general infectious diseases. Since late 2021, she has been the medical director for both Infection Prevention and Employee Health at Hillsboro Medical Center and has greatly enjoyed helping to build both programs. She is also interested in medical education and is the clinical director for two medical student intersessions, "Infection" and "COVID and Pandemics." Her favorite role of all is as mom to her two young children. Outside of all that, she enjoys running marathons, talking about running marathons, and attempting to grow vegetables in the backyard.
