After graduating from California State University, Fresno, in 1987, I spent 6 years working in private practice settings around Sacramento. In 1993, I started a year- long residency program that emphasized manual physical therapy at Kaiser Permanente in Hayward. This program exposed me to a hands-on approach that accelerated my own experiences and clinical decision-making process. Another significant result of this program is that it introduced me to the Kaiser system and allowed me to treat and practice in an effective manner. This led me to join the South Sacramento Kaiser family the following year.
Over my career, I have enjoyed working with a variety of problems including neck and back conditions, orthopedic injuries, chronic conditions and fibromyalgia. I also instruct exercise classes including the post-op knee class, advanced back training, fibromyalgia exercise class, and a low level exercise class.
As the clinical education coordinator at South Sacramento, I help organize an internship program for new graduates. It is very exciting to watch them implement what they have previously learned in school. Our clinic takes pride in exposing these new graduates to the multiple components of evaluating and treating Kaiser members.
When not enjoying work, I spend my time swimming. I currently help organize the Sacramento Masters Swim Team that has 150 participants from all over the greater Sacramento area along with coaching the team several times each week. We regularly attend local, regional and national swim meets as well as putting on our own swim meet in October. It is a great way to stay in shape, eat almost as much as I want and have fun at the same time.

An emergency medical condition is a medical or psychiatric condition that manifests itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that you could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in any of the following: serious jeopardy to your health, serious impairment to your bodily functions, or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part. An emergency medical condition is also "active labor," which means a labor when there is inadequate time for safe transfer to a Plan hospital (or designated hospital) before delivery or if a transfer poses a threat to the health of the member or unborn child.
