She has been practicing in the Thornton area for over 30 years, developing long-term relationships with patients – sometimes caring for several generations of women in one family. Educating and assisting women through the changing phases of life is a focus of her practice. What makes Colorado home to you? I was born and raised in Grand Junction. I went out of state for college, medical school and residency but then returned for family and the Colorado quality of life. What are your passions outside of work? Being outdoors, attending plays and musicals and reading mystery novels. Why did you become an OB/GYN? I wanted an opportunity to have long term relationships with patients.

What is the most important part of your job? Educating women of all ages as they progress through life. Progressing through health and sexuality, pregnancy and menopausal changes.
