About

I am a board-certified Nurse Practitioner with specialized expertise in cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, advanced heart failure, and heart transplantation.

At Adventist

Health, I provide comprehensive cardiovascular care, from diagnostics and risk stratification to the management of complex conditions. Previously, I served at UC San Diego Health, where I cared for patients with LVADs and heart transplants, participated in transplant selection, contributed to research, and led quality improvement initiatives. My background also includes high-acuity cardiac nursing, teaching as adjunct nursing faculty, and presenting at national conferences.

With advanced nursing and kinesiology degrees, I bring a strong foundation in both clinical practice and education, with a commitment to improving patient outcomes and advancing the field of cardiovascular care.
