I enjoy creating genuine relationships with patients throughout the course of their lives. Nothing brings greater satisfaction than sharing a patient’s joy; their victory is even sweeter if we have overcome sorrow as so many people have had to do.
My warmest memories are when I see my patients with their families outside of the hospital and we can marvel at how their family and health have changed over time.
Almost an Arizona native, I moved to the valley as a young child, and completed the majority of my education where I call home. I attended Thunderbird High School, where I graduated with a certification as a nursing assistant. I continued to explore healthcare at Arizona State University where I received a Bachelor of Science in Life Sciences. I earned my medical degree from Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine. I briefly left Arizona to complete my OB/GYN residency at Texas Tech University Health Science Center in El Paso Texas. While in Texas I was awarded twice as Outstanding Teaching Resident and was recognized for outstanding performance in service and dedication by University Medical Center. My research regarding contraception for adolescents was presented at the national conference for the North American Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology. I am thrilled to join the Lilac team after having spent several years at another East Valley ob/gyn practice.
In addition to adolescent health, I am also passionate about preventative health, contraception, education, and the variety of gynecologic conditions women will experience throughout their lives. I will be committed to your individual health and together embracing a journey towards wellness.
When I am not working, I stay busy caring for my family.
