Biography

I'm an osteopathic physician, board certified in family medicine and a lifelong student and educator. I've been teaching at TUCOM since I graduated from my family medicine residency at Sutter Santa Rosa /USCF. I'm also an alumni of Touro California College of Osteopathic Medicine so I have a unique perspective on the student experience. I strive to improve the education of our medical students through the self-directed Clinical Distinction course as well as by teaching physicians to be better teachers, in my role as the Assistant Dean of Faculty Development. Additionally I carry on the tradition of my mentors, using my hands and the biodynamic model of osteopathy to diagnose and treat my patients.
