I feel honored to be in a role to help children be the healthiest that they can be, and I enjoy helping families negotiate the challenges of raising children through their different developmental stages and changing needs. I strive to bring current medical practice to the table for discussion, recognizing that open communication with parents and children in my practice allows us to find the best therapeutic option for each patient. I take my oath to "first, do no harm" seriously. ### Professional highlights American Academy of Pediatrics, California Medical Association, Placer-Nevada County Medical Society, AAP Section on Sports Medicine. ### Outside of medicine Outside of Medicine, personal interests include hiking, skiing, mountain biking, horseback riding, reading, writing and spending time with my family. ## Education and training **Medical school:** University of California, San Francisco **Residency:** Children's Hospital of Oakland ## Board certifications -
