Since graduating from the University of Washington Physician Assistant Program in 2005, I have been dedicated to serving the neurosurgical needs of our community. My approach to care is centered on providing evidence-based, patient-focused treatment while ensuring every patient feels informed, supported, and empowered throughout their journey.

I believe that education is one of the most important parts of quality care. By taking the time to explain diagnoses, answer questions, and discuss treatment options thoroughly, I help patients become active participants in making decisions about their health. I strive to treat every patient with the same compassion, honesty, and respect that I would offer a family member or close friend, and I deeply value the lasting relationships I’ve built with my patients over the years.

One of the most rewarding aspects of neurosurgery is the opportunity to guide patients through every stage of care, from their initial evaluation and treatment planning to assisting in surgery and supporting them throughout recovery. My goal is to provide knowledgeable, compassionate care that helps patients feel confident and cared for every step of the way.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, especially when it involves the outdoors and exploring new places together.
