I grew up in Massachusetts and completed my undergraduate degree in Zoology at the University of Massachusetts and then moved to Washington DC and completed a Master's degree in Public Health at the George Washington University. After working in the public health field for several years I returned to school and earned my MD from the Tulane University in New Orleans. After completing medical school I moved to this area for my residency in Internal Medicine at UC Davis. I have worked at Kaiser Permanente since completing my residency in 2000 and enjoy Kaiser Permanente's strong commitment to patient care, preventative medicine, and specialty access.
