Practice Philosophy

Rheumatic diseases—most of them chronic—can have a profound influence on patients’ lives, extending beyond the realm of the physical to also include mental, emotional, and social impacts. I will strive to provide comprehensive care that incorporates recognition and understanding of these impacts to my practice of rheumatology.

Personal

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my loving partner, my parents, and my extended family. I also enjoy baking/cooking, practicing the violin, playing tennis, and exploring the breathtaking landscapes and delicious foods of the Pacific Northwest.
