Being the 5^th generation of my family to be from Arizona I feel blessed to still be calling the Grand Canyon State home.  I grew up working for an industrial water treatment company but always had an interest in medicine.  After living in Brazil for several years I was determined to be able to provide health care to areas and people that were in need.  After attending ASU and going to medical school I did a rotation at Phoenix Baptist (now Abrazo Central) and felt that this was the best place for me to do my training as a resident.  I am grateful for the training that I have received and am enjoy training other physicians as well. 

As well as teaching at Abrazo Central I am also involved with the Air Force reserves and enjoy the opportunity to provide medical care in this setting as well.

In my free time I still love to do as many things outdoors as I can, whether it is playing soccer, kayaking, or hiking all over Arizona.
