I am originally from Texas and grew up in the West Texas town of El Paso. My mother raised us and taught us simply to be the best we could be at whatever we choose.

I have been living in California since I was 14 years old. After high School, I attended University of CA at Santa Cruz where I received my Bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry. 

It is a well-known fact that the impressions created in the mind of a child last forever. This was true in my case. I was born in India, and as a child I was impressed by the lifesaving potential that doctors have. As a result I developed a passion for this profession.

Hello! I am Amy, a pediatric nurse practitioner and certified lactation counselor here at Tri-Valley Pediatrics! My journey to become a nurse practitioner started at an early age. My pediatrician from birth through childhood took an active and positive role in educating and engaging with me about my health.

I was born and raised in the Bay Area, but have spent much of my adult life exploring the East Coast. After graduating from high school in California, I moved to New York City to attend college at New York University. I fell in love with the museums and art galleries of the city and decided to major in art history. In between art classes and visits to museums, I volunteered with high school students and tutored children.
