I’m a Bay Area native and 4th generation Californian. My fascination in science and medicine started early and continued into college were I obtained a Bachelors of Science degree, with a Major in Nursing. I graduated from San Jose State University in 1980.

You may click on the links to the left of this page to find helpful information about accessing services at Kaiser Permanente and about health care topics of interest.

After graduation I started with Kaiser Permanente in a program specializing in Emergency Medicine. Within my 13 years of emergency experience I held several roles; staff nurse, charge nurse, then in 1988-1993 the Clinical Nurse Educator for staff and patient education, as well as for a short time Acting Director of Emergency Services for Santa Clara Kaiser Permanente.

In 1993 the opportunity arose to develop, and open a Lipid Clinic in Redwood City Kaiser, for Cholesterol Management. My interest in direct patient care, prevention and teaching led me to become involved in what now is a national program at Kaiser. I’m proud to say the cholesterol management program has been an active partner in reducing patients risk for heart disease. I believe health care is a partnership in which we work together health care provider and the patient to see each individual develop the skills and knowledge for a healthier life.

I’ve also attended UCSF Gladstone Lipid Disorder Training program in 1993 and annually since.

When not at work I enjoy hiking, biking, skiing, traveling and cooking…usually low fat!

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.
