Summary

I am a Kaiser Permanente baby from Northern California who came to Southern California for a medical training stop - and now I have spent my entire professional career in the Los Angeles area. I have been on staff at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, UCLA, Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. My early career was spent focused on liver transplantation and academic research. However my passion for patient care and teaching has lead me on a path to Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles Medical Center.
