Raised just outside of Sacramento, I’ve always known I had a passion for mental health. From helping care for friends and family to volunteering at homeless shelters, I’ve seen how mental well-being impacts one’s life firsthand. These experiences fuel my desire to help others. 

In high school, I trained to become a medical assistant through a career and technical training course. Because of this program, I was able to work in an urgent care helping patients first hand until my graduation in 2020. I attended Sierra College in Rocklin, CA where I received my dual Associates in Biology and Natural Sciences, before transferring to UC Santa Barbara in 2022. 

I graduated from UCSB in 2025 with a Bachelors of Science in Psychological and Brain Sciences. Though I've only been in Santa Barbara for three years, it has come to feel like home to me.

At Sun Psychiatry, I have the privilege of helping patients take the first steps towards attaining their mental health goals. I take care to ensure that every patient is met with understanding, grace, and compassion, no matter how small the interaction. 

My future plans include a career in osteopathic medicine, and I am excited to see how my time at Sun Psychiatry will shape me and my path forward.
