Background
I was born in Israel but grew up in New Orleans, Louisiana and attended university at Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts from 1981-85. After a stint at graduate school at New York University in biology/biochemistry, I decided to return to Israel and attended medical school at the same university that my father attended for his degree in aerospace engineering. My father later received his doctorate at Georgia Tech. He lived long enough to see me graduate and to see me settle down in San Francisco before he passed away. I live in San Francisco with my husband Fergal Sean McCusker from Northern Ireland who is an economics graduate of UMIST, University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology in England. I have been with Kaiser for 13 years and absolutely love Kaiser Permanente San Rafael and the surrounding community.
