Educational Journey
I’m a native Coloradan born and raised in Denver. I knew I wanted to be a doctor from a young age. After graduating Valedictorian from high school, I attended Colorado College in Colorado Springs, where I studied biology.
I went to medical school at Saint Louis University immediately upon graduation. After deciding to pursue family medicine, I attended residency at the University of South Carolina in Columbia. After living in many other states, I returned to Colorado to pursue my career. I have been a Board Certified Family Medicine physician since 2013.
Life
Colorado is where I met my wonderful husband. I have two amazing stepchildren and one fur baby. I enjoy spending time with family, hanging out with my dog, reading, and watching movies in my spare time.
Background and Credentials
- University of South Carolina in Columbia (Residency)

Why Pearl?
I decided to start Pearl after working in the corporate world of medicine for many years. The increasing demands on physicians’ time increasingly took away from time with patients and the patient-physician relationship. I wanted to start a business where I could re-establish that relationship and take control of my time. I also noticed more and more in my practice specific patient frustrations with their health that I did not have the time or resources to address in corporate medical practice.
Nymeria (Nym)
I’m told that I’m something called a Sheepadoodle. I believe that means that I am a hoo-mon like my family. I know this because I sit on the couch, eat hoo-mon food and lick anything I want. My favorite things are laying around, hunting for hoppers, and looking for “S” words [Squirrels]. My mama is a doctor and I love to cuddle with her most. But when she’s not around, my papa will do.
When I grow up I want to be a medical assistant so I can help my mama at Pearl. But she says I need to get groomed more, so I guess that may not happen.
