I grew up in Alberta, Canada. My father pursued his fellowship in Seattle, Washington. My brother was also born here, which is why this place is so special to me and my family. After residency, my husband and I moved to Los Angeles for fellowships. Shortly thereafter, we began our careers in Fresno, California, and welcomed two wonderful children into our lives. A classically trained pianist and vocalist, I ran varsity track and cross country during college. I speak fluent French, English, and ophthalmic Spanish.
