Director, Westside Neighborhood Clinic
I joined the full-time faculty in 1995 after three fun-filled years doing my residency at Long Beach Memorial Family Medicine. As with Cindy Herzog, my initial entry point was a fourth-year medical student clinical rotation, so perhaps that makes me a "lifer" as well…not such a bad deal! I consider myself most fortunate, in that as I was making my career plans as an R3, an opportunity arose to assume the Medical Directorship of the underserved clinic through which we rotated.
I have been teaching community based medicine at the Westside Neighborhood Clinic since graduation, and have recently completed a fellowship in Addressing the Health Needs of the Undeserved. I also serve as a member of the
Long Beach Diabetes Collaborative
, a citywide, multidisciplinary organization that is looking at innovative ways to bring improved diabetes care to our diverse and challenging population. I have also been involved in designing a project to prevent obesity in Latino youth.
On a personal note, I am a mommy to 7-year-old twins, as well as being "Ariel's Mom" to my wonderful 16-year-old, who was born during my second year of residency. My husband, George, is a local family physician. We love traveling, staying involved in our community and watching videos and getting pizza delivery on Friday nights…our movie theater days currently being on hold!
