As a physician assistant on the total joint replacement team at OHSU, I bring over 15 years of orthopedic experience to help patients regain mobility and return to active lifestyles through hip and knee replacement surgery.

Before becoming a physician assistant, I served in the United States Air Force as a paramedic and medical service specialist, where my health care career began. I earned my Master of Medical Science from Saint Louis University in 2000 and have dedicated my career to orthopedics ever since. 

I'm a member of the Oregon Society of Physician Assistants, Physician Assistants in Orthopaedic Surgery, and the American Academy of Physician Assistants. I serve as an Instructor of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation at OHSU's School of Medicine and see patients at both our Beaverton and South Waterfront locations.
