Upon graduating from Stanford University School of Medicine, I completed an Internal Medicine residency and a postdoctoral fellowship in Rheumatology, both also at Stanford. I began cycling during medical school when one of my classmates encouraged me to join the collegiate club team, and I could not kick the habit despite hours of work in the hospital through residency. During fellowship, I had a bit more time to focus on cycling, which led me to attempt a legitimate cycling career in 2004 when Webcor began its women’s program.

Winning the 2004 US National Time Trial Championship earned me a spot on the US Olympic Team. At the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece, I placed 4th in the individual time trial and 15th in the road race. After another two years of selected racing and focus on time trialing, I earned a bronze medal at the World Time Trial Championships in Salzburg, 2006.  

In 2006, I began working as a rheumatologist at the Palo Alto Medical Clinic. Now in 2008 I look forward to taking a short leave from my practice to race more extensively with the team and to attempt to make another Olympic selection and finally earn the elusive Olympic medal.

I have been privileged to represent our sponsors at events such as the PowerBar Nutritional Panel at InterBike, as well as to present at several professional medical conferences for continuing medical education on "Training for Performance."
