About Me

I have been a nurse for 24 years. I became a Licensed Vocational Nurse in 1979, at Rogue Community College in Grants Pass, Oregon. I received my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Samuel Merritt/St. Mary's Hospital in 1986. I received my Master's degree in Nursing with a specialty in Anesthesia from the University of California, San Francisco in 1995. I am a member of the California Association of Nurse Anesthetists, as well as the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists. I have worked my way up in the medical profession and enjoy the challenge of doing an excellent job each and every day.

I began working at Kaiser Permanente in September, 1995 at Sacramento Medical Center on Morse Ave. I came to Kaiser Permanente in Vallejo in October 2001. I've lived in Vallejo for 15 years and I really like working in the community I live in.

The Anesthesia and Surgical departments are very cohesive, which makes for an enjoyable work environment. My professional goals are to provide a safe and comfortable anesthetic for every patient, continually improve my anesthetic technique, and to challenge myself in new roles within the department.

A personal goal of mine is centered at the public library. I am starting to tutor English to adults. I sincerely hope I can do a good job in this mentoring role. Reading is one of the most important skills that one can have.

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.
