About Me:

My interest in palliative care comes through my curiosity about the impact serious illness has on patients and families. I am passionate about social justice and committed to equitable treatment to underserved and marginalized communities. A Northwest native, I have lived in many parts of the United States, but happily settled back into my Portland home. My interests outside of work include cooking, gardening and traveling near and far. The outdoors and all its inhabitants bring me joy and I may be seen peering into the trees, thoroughly entertained by the antics of my neighborhood crows.
