I was born and raised in Chicago. I taught high school and was an athletic trainer for
10 years before going to physician assistant (PA) school. Three years after graduating
from PA school, I moved to California to teach at USC. I met my husband, Anthony,
there. He was an LA city firefighter. We and our dog, Max, moved to Idaho to enjoy
the outdoors six months ago. We love life here!

I was an athletic trainer before going to PA school, and I have always loved
orthopedics.

Patients should expect someone who will not only listen to their medical concerns
and come up with a good plan but will also try to connect with them on a personal
level.

I love to walk my dog through the trails at English Point. I also enjoy road trips with
my husband, working out, watching sports and reading.

I heard so many great things about it from people in the community, and I really
wanted to be an active part of the local health care team.
