Hi and welcome to my Web page. I'd glad to have this way to tell you a little about me and my pediatrics practice here at Kaiser Permanente.
Biography
I was born in Southern California and grew up in Santa Clarita. I have spent the majority of my life here in Southern California and love all it has to offer. I did my pediatric residency at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles. After six years in private practice, I returned to Santa Clarita four years ago to be close to my family in the area. I started to work full-time at Kaiser Permanente three years ago.
About my practice
I chose pediatrics because I love taking care of kids. I love watching my patients grow from newborns to young adults and to assist in their transitions through these stages in their lives. I feel my role as a pediatrician is to teach. I am here to help the parents of my patients as well as my patients learn what is normal and what to expect, as well as about safety issues, developmental issues, and so on. I feel I have the best job in the world, a job where I get to play with kids every day. You will notice when you meet me that I am very casual. I don't believe in wearing a "white coat" (except for the picture, of course).
How I thrive
I like to be active outdoors, whether it is playing softball twice a week, walking my dog, gardening, cycling, or hiking. I also like to do projects at home, such as painting, wallpapering, and putting up beadboard wainscoting.
