Why do you love working in women’s health?
My initial exposure to women's health had me at "hello." I have so many treasured women in my life and as patients with unique biological differences, I simply had to get into the nitty gritty. I love learning to navigate the complexities of not only women's specific health needs but also the individual. Women are my jam.
What do you do outside of work?
I have been a yogi since I was 15 years old and it teaches me everyday. I am a total nerd and read 3-4 books at time. I love to help others and keep a strong balance to my life. My favorite thing to do is hang with Opal my fur babe or my adult daughters. Loves: Quantum physics, gardening, DOGS (all dogs), dessert, baths and getting into the high sierras whenever I can. Dislikes: Banana flavoring, Computer updates, Decaf coffee.
