I’m a physician assistant in family medicine with a special focus on women’s primary care. I care for patients with both chronic and acute conditions, provide preventive medicine and work to support health of both body and mind.

I’m especially passionate about patient education, shared decision-making and creating a safe, inclusive space for care.

My approach to care is about connection—walking alongside patients through both challenges and triumphs, and always advocating for equitable, compassionate care.

Before becoming a PA, I worked in many different healthcare roles, including women’s health at OHSU and volunteering at a clinic serving unhoused transgender youth. I earned my PA degree at South University in Austin, where I pursued additional training in women’s and sexual health, then returned to Portland to continue my career at OHSU. Originally from Los Angeles, I first came to Portland to attend Reed College, where I developed a love for research and the natural world while completing my thesis in tree ecology.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my partner and cuddling our Borzoi, Cake. I also love yoga, reading sci-fi, watching classic films and exploring nature here in the Pacific Northwest.
