My Texas roots run deep. My family is from west Texas, and I was raised on a farm near Cleburne, Texas. After graduating with a Biology degree from Abilene Christian University, I completed medical school at the Texas Tech University Health Science Center in Lubbock, Texas followed by a Family Medicine Residency and Geriatrics Fellowship at JPS. Before becoming the Hospice and Palliative Medicine Fellowship Program Director, I served as the Geriatric Fellowship Program Director at JPS for 14 years. I enjoy seeing patients in the outpatient, inpatient, home, and long-term care settings. In addition to Geriatrics and Palliative Care, I have a passion for Refugee and Global Health. I have been blessed by caring for patients and teaching Geriatrics and Palliative Care in numerous countries throughout the world. When away from work, I enjoy outdoor activities, especially horseback riding.

Why JPS? Nowhere else will you get the same breadth of training, JPS sets the standard.
