I was born and raised in the Michigan, but the winters were too cold for me. After graduation from medical school I looked for a warm, sunny location and have been in Southern California ever since. My husband came from North Dakota also looking for a warm climate and met me. We have two children currently in college. I joined Kaiser Permanente as a pediatrician and gradually the genetic part of the practice grew to the point where I no longer have a primary care pediatric practice. I was drawn to the practice of medicine, because I like to work with people and help people to have better healthier lives. Before joining Kaiser Permanente, I had briefly worked on health projects in Appalachia and with Project Hope in Jamaica.
