About Me

I was delighted to join Kaiser Permanente in 2015, and I’m thrilled to now offer cosmetic dermatology services at the Dermatology Department at Kaiser Permanente at Oakland. I love helping my patients feel refreshed and confident—because when you look your best, you feel energized too!  We will work together to plan for a combination of a skin care plan and procedures to improve unwanted changes and even help to prevent further changes down the line either from aging or sun exposure. 

I grew up in the Washington, D.C. area and attended Princeton University for my undergraduate studies where I studied the history of science and medicine. I then pursued my medical degree at Georgetown University School of Medicine, where I developed a deep passion for dermatology. I believe that our skin’s health and appearance play a crucial role in self-confidence, professional interactions, and overall well-being. Helping my patients take care of their skin allows me to positively impact their daily lives.

After a year of research at Johns Hopkins University, I completed my dermatology residency in New York before moving to the Bay Area. I was drawn to Kaiser Permanente for its commitment to the highest quality patient care. I enjoy educating my patients on preventive skincare and focusing on finding treatment solutions that are not only effective but work best for you. I enjoy practicing medical and cosmetic dermatology and thank you for entrusting your care to Kaiser Permanente.

I look forward to working with you and helping you achieve healthy skin. Best wishes for your skin health and well-being!
