I have been a CRNA for over 15 years working in diverse clinical settings. I currently maintain my clinical practice at Sutter Solano Medical Center and Kaiser Permanente North Sacramento.

I am passionate about creating a learning environment of respect and rapport and helping each individual reach their highest potential.

I received my BSN from California State University, Chico. I earned my MSN from Samuel Merritt University and am currently earning my Doctorate Degree in Nurse Anesthesia Practice at Texas Wesleyan University.
