My Biography

I came to Kaiser Permanente because I was interested in working alongside doctors to help patients better manage their medicines and disease. As a clinical pharmacist, I monitor my patients’ diseases and lab results, and start or adjust their medicines under protocol. I enjoy my work because I like teaching and seeing my patients “get it” – seeing them understand how to take care of themselves and how to take their medicines correctly. I am delighted when my patients get their cholesterol, diabetes, or blood pressure under control. Both my colleagues and patients are a diverse, multiethnic group of people who are fun to work with! I am a San Francisco native—the oldest of five girls—and my family still lives around the Bay Area.

In the Prevent Heart Attack and Stroke Everyday (PHASE) program, I work with patients who are at increased risk for heart attack and/or stroke. Many of my patients have diabetes and/or heart disease, areas in which I am particularly interested. I am also interested in HIV, which was a focus of my research during my residency. Besides working at the 2238 Geary clinic, I spend about half my time at the Anticoagulation Clinic at 4131 Geary (French campus) monitoring patients who take warfarin (Coumadin), a blood thinner.

During my leisure time, I like flying kites at the beach, camping during winter in Yosemite, and reading. Two of my favorite fiction authors are Jane Austen and LM Montgomery. I keep healthy and active by drinking lots of water and walking whenever possible. I lean towards fish rather than meat in my diet, and I try to incorporate fruit and vegetables on a regular basis. I am newly married to my wonderful husband!

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.
