She completed her residency training in Family and Community Medicine at UCSF/San Francisco General Hospital. She serves as a Senior Fellow for the Atlantic Fellows for Health Equity, where she has focused her efforts on strengthening health career pathway programs in collaboration with community partners in Richmond, CA and across Contra Costa County.
