Personal Summary
I grew up in Denver, CO and moved East for my college years and medical training. I received my B.A. in Biology from Wesleyan University in Connecticut and my M.D. from Dartmouth Medical School. I completed my medical training at Maine Medical Center in Portland, Maine and am a board-certified Family Medicine physician.
After years living in New England, my family and I felt a westward pull to move closer to the mountains. We ‘re so happy we landed in Missoula! After working in several traditional primary care/ family medicine practices, I joined the team at Curry in 2016. I’ve always had an interest in school-based healthcare and love the creative energy of a University campus, so I feel so fortunate to have the opportunity to work at UM and care for Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ at Curry.
In my practice, I try to provide holistic care, where I get to know my patients and treat them as a whole, rather than focus on individual medical problems in isolation. My clinical interests include preventive care and wellness, and sexual health (including all types of contraception, STI prevention, PREP therapy, and Gender affirming care).

I'm my happiest self when I'm out enjoying the trails around Missoula with friends and family- whether it's trail running, biking, hiking or skiing. I also love travel, all things food-related, and curling up on the couch with a good book.
