Personal Profile

“I grew up in a small steel mill town in northeastern Ohio.  I miss living near extended family, but Bend has happily been my home for over 25 years. In addition to being a wife and mother – the best part of my life — I’m an avid participant in community activities. I am so fortunate to enjoy Oregon’s outdoor opportunities and beauty. I’m a big fan of yoga, Zumba, paddle boarding, kayaking, biking, hiking, knitting, reading, movies, travel, dance! Singing with Bella Acapella Harmony and Harmony4Women and, more recently, with the ReSistas has been a wonderful creative outlet and a source of joy and friendship. I love working with my patients to help them to also realize a full and healthy life.  ”
