About Me:

I am a former Flight Paramedic and Fire Fighter from Flagstaff, Arizona who migrated to the Northwest in 2000. The University of Washington became my home for several years during PA school, after which, I moved to Portland, Oregon. I have worked at Legacy Emanuel since 2003, originally as a full-time member of the Legacy Trauma Service. This experience served me well and ultimately opened doors to become involved with the Adult ECMO Service in 2015. My professional interests currently relate to adult ECMO, Extracorporeal CPR, and disaster management which includes disaster preparedness, management, patient triage, and recovery from disasters. I enjoy telemark and downhill skiing and one of my best friends is a 7 year-old obstinate Rottweiler.
