Languages

English

I believe all people deserve high-quality, affordable healthcare. My passion is serving populations who are often stigmatized and struggle to receive adequate care and services, including those with psychiatric conditions, substance use disorders, or homelessness. I am thrilled to be joining a strong team of clinical and outpatient pharmacists and technicians and look forward to continuing to build high-quality, unique services to provide excellent medication management to the people of Central Oregon.

Outside of work, I enjoy creating with my hands – knitting, weaving, sewing, and gardening. I love to sing, hike, backpack, ski, and spend time with my two daughters and partner.
