Health Professions

Bio

I am a graduate of Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine and a board certified Naturopathic Doctor, with a current license to practice in the state of Colorado. As a former student of Metropolitan State University of Denver (MSUD) within the Integrative Health Care program, I understand how the coursework available can change lives. I strive to help students realize the potential they have within and that there is nothing holding them back but, their own expectations of self. In addition, by being a practicing Naturopathic Doctor in our community, I am able to incorporate real life applications of integrative medicine to aide in the education of my students.
