As a long-time Las Vegas resident, I am excited to return to the state where I was born and give back to a community called home by several generations of family. Nevada provided me the opportunity to earn dual Bachelor’s degrees in Biology and Psychology, with a minor in Neuroscience, at UNLV. Upon completing a Master’s of Health Sciences degree at TUN, I continued on to attend medical school with TUNCOM, where I gained further appreciation for the complexities of dynamic, individualized patient care.

On a clinical level, I believe in working with patients to understand their desired outcomes and get them back to doing what they enjoy. I adopt a proactive mindset and make a genuine interpersonal investment, which is essential to patient advocacy. This mindset also fosters adaptability and active problem-solving, leading to the best opportunity for shared and informed decision-making. Being a part of the Abrazo Health team allows me to prioritize this approach while making patients feel educated about their options, supported in their decisions, and confident in their future plans.

Outside medicine, I have yet to find an outdoor activity I do not like; however, I have a particular affinity for UTV trail riding, hiking, and camping with my husband. Much of my time is also spent with my husband experiencing top foodie destinations, attending hockey games, exploring during world travel adventures, and trying my hand at mixology.
