Professional Bio

I am a proud San Francisco Bay Area native, born in San Francisco, raised in San Jose, and I attended both San Jose State University and the University of California at San Francisco.

I have served as a full time faculty person at Samuel Merritt University since 2006, and served as Department Chair from 2012-2023. I am an Adjunct Professor with the Department, and was awarded Professor Emeritus in May 2024. I've been involved with physical therapy residency and fellowship education for the past 20 years, and I began my clinical practice over 30 years ago, focused in outpatient musculoskeletal settings.

My favorite thing to do to keep me feeling balanced and well is to go to the beach. I love to take long walks, watch the waves at sunset, hunt for sea glass and sand dollars, and watch my pup chase balls and dig in the sand.
