Biography

As a certified Physician Associate, I am passionate about helping patients feel confident and comfortable in their skin. I work closely with patients to diagnose and treat a wide range of skin conditions — from acne, eczema, and psoriasis to skin cancer screenings as well as hair loss conditions. My approach is rooted in evidence-based care, clear communication, and a deep commitment to patient education. I believe in creating a welcoming, respectful environment where every patient feels heard, understood, and empowered to take charge of their skin health.
Originally from the Willamette Valley, I completed my training in Southern California at Western University of Health Sciences. Prior to PA school, I became enthralled with the world of dermatology while working at this clinic due to the diversity, versatility, and the ability to make a visible impact. I am honored to be back in the Pacific Northwest and a part of the team of providers at NW Dermatology. Outside of work I enjoy spending my free time exploring Portland’s food scene and forest trails, spending time with my boyfriend and family, hiking in the Gorge, and travelling.
