I originally worked in an internal medicine practice in Lakewood Colorado after graduation. In 2002, I joined the Denver Arthritis Clinic out of a desire to focus my practice in the field of Rheumatology.

I enjoy working in a practice that sees such a great variety of conditions. It has been rewarding to see all the positive changes in Rheumatology, and how that translates into improvement in patient care and ultimately, daily satisfaction in my practice.

Outside of work, I spend most of my time with my husband and the three children we share, ranging from 7, 16 and 19 years old. I enjoy any activity which involves the outdoors, traveling, music and great friends.
