I am an Acting Assistant Professor in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at the University of Washington. My focus is evaluating the efficacy of behavioral interventions and how best to optimize behavioral interventions to suit the needs of individuals with chronic conditions such as chronic pain, multiple sclerosis, and fatigue.
 

I grew up in Morro Bay, a small fishing village on the coast of California. Despite having lived in and near major cities as an adult, I tend to carry this small town identity wherever I go.

I currently live in Seattle with my husband and two adorable chihuahuas
