A CU Medicine provider.

My passion is solving musculoskeletal mysteries. Finding the correct diagnosis is crucial to developing the correct treatment plan. I partner with my patients to guide them towards a life with less pain and more function and joy. I enjoy leading patients back to their active lives and while I enjoy taking care of the many aging athletes that live in Colorado I take care of many non-athletes, too!

As a collegiate level cross-country runner and softball pitcher, I have a strong personal and academic interest in sports.
