Background
I received a diploma in nursing from Kaiser Foundation School of Nursing in 1970, a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from California State University, Sacramento in 1977, and Master of Science in Nursing from the University of California in San Francisco in 1979. I completed a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner certification program and an Adolescent Fellowship at UCSF. I have worked for Kaiser Permanente since 1970 in Walnut Creek, Honolulu, and since 1984 in Vallejo in the Pediatric teen clinics. I enjoy Vallejo because of the multi-cultural population and community spirit.
