I attended medical school at A.T. Still University School of Osteopathic Medicine in Arizona.  After medical school I completed residency in Family Medicine at The Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education located in Auburn/Tacoma Washington.  Following residency, I completed fellowship in Hospice and Palliative Medicine at the University of Utah and Huntsman Cancer Institute.  I joined the team at St Alphonsus in the fall of 2020.  I have been the director of palliative medicine for St Alphonsus since October of 2023.  I have 6 children.  I love to play and I enjoy all sports, board/card games, and creative play.
