Summary

I was raised in Detroit and received my undergraduate and medical degrees from the University of Michigan (Go Blue!) I then moved to Madison, Wisconsin where I completed my residency in general surgery. I've been in San Diego since 1998, when I came to UCSD to do a fellowship in trauma surgery and surgical critical care. My husband is also a Midwesterner; he practices emergency medicine at another hospital in San Diego. Kaiser Permanente is very supportive of doctors who want to do volunteer work. In the past two years I have been able to go to Liberia twice, to work with Doctors Without Borders, to provide emergency surgical care to people affected by war and poverty.
