Clinical Interests
My clinical interests include general health of adolescents, including management of weight problems, contraception and menstrual problems. I am also experienced in care of transgender youth.
Care Philosophy
I believe that teenagers have the power to improve their health and encourage them to strive to set goals for themselves to take good care of their bodies.
Personal Interests
In my free time, I enjoy skiing, hiking, singing, cooking, and spending time with my family and pets.

I have participated as a team manager for Destination Imagination for four years. This year, I coordinated setting up DI teams at both of my children's DPS schools.
I also sing in a local group (Last Note Singers) that performs in various community settings, including nursing and retirement homes, the zoo and the botanical gardens.
