I am double boarded in anesthesiology and pain medicine and practice at UC Davis Health. I am interested in the “whole person” approach to pain management as a way to improve functioning and decrease suffering. I am also interested in interventional pain medicine, neuromodulation, technology, and pain education and currently serve as the school of medicine's pain thread leader. I graduated from UC Davis in 2001, before receiving my medical degree from Stanford University in 2006 and completing residency training at UCDMC. I joined the HPA Advisory Board because I wish to give back to an institution that has given me so much!
