She attended undergraduate college at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor (Go Blue!) and earned her medical degree from Wayne State University School of Medicine.

During her time at Henry Ford Health System she had a large role in their teaching and research programs, including teaching their fellows and serving as a co-investigator in the NIH-funded Inner City Asthma Consortium.  Her clinical passion is food allergy.  Also during her time at Henry Ford she planned and developed a program that focused not only on pediatric, but adult food allergy as well.

Her family (2 daughters, a husband, and 1 fur human) couldn’t be more excited to experience all that sunny California has to offer. She is looking forward to participating in the care of her new patients.
