About Me

As a licensed clinical social worker, I have worked in a variety of settings. I chose the field of Social Work to understand human behavior. I believe everyone, with the right resources, has the ability to make positive changes if they choose to. I joined the Kaiser Permanente family in 2004. I enjoy working with a multi-disciplinary staff where everyone has defined roles and responsibilities in patient care. As an Early Start Specialist I get the opportunity to have significant impact on infants, mothers and families. The objective is to educate mothers on the risks of using tobacco, drugs and alcohol while pregnant.

I am a member of the National Association of Social Workers. I am particularly interested in educating the public and other disciplines about the true nature of Social Work. It is particularly important, to me, in the medical setting for other disciplines to have a true understanding of the social worker’s role in a non-traditional social work setting.

I’m originally from Southern California. I can’t say I don’t miss the sun shiny days and smog. I have enjoyed the Bay area’s diversity and array of tasty foods. I am married to a smart, and I almost forgot, pleasing to the eye man. We have two children, Michelle and Donald, (also known as D.J). We enjoy traveling, attending cultural events, concerts and spending time with family and friends.

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.
