Credentials & Certifications

Physician Assistant
I was first introduced to functional medicine early in my career while working at a private practice in Monterey, California. Seeing how patient outcomes improved when they were educated about their lifestyle and nutrition choices inspired me to explore functional medicine further. I began incorporating its principles into my practice, recognizing its potential to create lasting health transformations by addressing root causes rather than symptoms.
In my free time, I love being outdoors, whether it’s hiking, paddle boarding, or kayaking. I also enjoy spending time with friends and family, watching movies, and exploring new cuisines.
