Biography

Bio

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences and the Residency Program Director.  I completed my residency at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where I was Chief Resident. After completing my residency, I became the Associate Program Director of the Iowa Medical Education Collaborative Psychiatry Residency Program, now known as the MercyOne Psychiatry Residency Program. I earned my DO at Des Moines University in Iowa, and my BA from St. John’s College-Santa Fe, also in New Mexico. In 2022, I won the Society of St. Luke’s Award from MercyOne for providing compassionate care and being a servant leader.

Most recently, I was medical director at the MercyOne Psychiatry Resident Clinic in Des Moines, IA, and supervised second, third, and fourth-year residents. My current clinical focus will be on the resident portion of the M Health Fairview Riverside Clinic in Minneapolis.
