I’m the executive director of the office for simulation at OHSU. I have the incredible privilege of leading a team that brings immersive, hands-on learning experiences to life for our students, residents, and healthcare teams. Our centers support a wide range of people —from those just starting out in healthcare to experienced professionals refining their skills.

I’m passionate about creating dynamic, inclusive spaces where people feel empowered to ask questions, try new things, and grow. Our work spans multiple disciplines and locations statewide, and it’s deeply collaborative—my team partners with faculty, standardized patients, and subject matter experts to design meaningful experiences that align with real-world goals and challenges. I feel lucky every day to work in a space where innovation, education, and healthcare intersect so powerfully.

In my off time, I enjoy running, paddleboarding, and working on my small hobby farm.
