About me

I am a physician assistant at the OHSU Spine Center. I specialize in spine care and orthopedic trauma, providing comprehensive support throughout your entire treatment journey. I treat patients who are: 

  • Preparing for surgery
  • Recovering from a procedure
  • Managing a traumatic injury 

I work closely with our trauma, spine, upper extremity and sports medicine surgeons, which allows me to provide coordinated care before, during and after surgery. I manage preoperative visits, assist in the operating room, see patients in the hospital and follow your progress through postoperative recovery in the clinic. This comprehensive approach means I understand your full story and can help ensure the best possible outcomes.

I believe in educating my patients in a straightforward, matter-of-fact way by explaining your condition, treatment options and care instructions in terminology you can understand. I take your concerns seriously, listen carefully to what matters most to you and work patiently with you even when aspects of the treatment plan feel challenging. My goal is to help you feel informed, supported and confident about your recovery.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, cheering on the Trailblazers, hiking, cross-country skiing and attending live musical performances.

When she confirmed my thought about my spine above my fusion was failing, she gave me his information about possible options my surgeon would suggest.
