About me
I am a physician assistant specializing in general and adult congenital cardiology. I care for adults with:
Treatments I offer my patients include
- Managing acute heart failure with IV diuretics
- Evaluating and treating heart attacks and unstable angina
- Managing arrhythmias with medications or cardiac devices such as pacemakers
- Provider pre- and post-procedure care for valve repair or replacement
I enjoy working collaboratively with patients and their families, making sure they feel heard and understand their treatment plan. One of the most rewarding parts of my work is supporting patients during hospital stays - I am passionate about helping them feel informed and cared for during what can be a stressful time and seeing them improve with treatment.
I began my career in pulmonary, critical care and sleep medicine before transitioning into cardiology, where I find deep fulfillment in both inpatient and outpatient care. Outside of work, I love spending time with my spouse and young son.

Insurance
Before scheduling an appointment
- Check your network. If you have health insurance, call your company to find out if the OHSU Health location or provider you plan to visit is part of your network.
- Ask what you will pay. Your insurance company can tell you what your costs are likely to be.
If you schedule an appointment and your health insurance does not include OHSU Health, you may have to pay more than if you go to a provider in your insurance network.
