A CU Medicine provider.
I am committed to providing evidence-based, compassionate care to patients with complex aortic disease. I prioritize clear communication and shared decision-making to help patients and their families understand their condition and treatment options. Working within a multidisciplinary team, I focus on treating the whole person and delivering coordinated care across all stages of aortic disease management.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and 2 children, exploring new destinations through travel, and embracing outdoor activities such as skiing, hiking and gardening.

- Clinical interest for patients
-
As a Physician Assistant and Coordinator for the Comprehensive Aortic Program, my clinical interests focus on the multidisciplinary management of complex aortic disease. This includes the care of patients with aortic aneurysm, dissection, and aortic valve disease across the preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative phases of treatment, as well as long-term surveillance and management of genetically mediated aortopathies. I am particularly interested in advancing coordinated care models and contributing to research aimed at improving outcomes for patients with complex aortic disease.
- Volunteer activities
I am deeply committed to giving back to the community through volunteer work. I have participated in a medical mission trip to Bolivia, providing care to villagers in remote areas, and have actively supported organizations including the Down Syndrome Association, Ronald McDonald House, and the Marfan Foundation. These experiences have strengthened my dedication to patient advocacy, community health, and improving access to care for underserved populations.
