Since that time, it has only gotten more interesting because not only do we know more about skin diseases and skin health, but the technology to improve skin has exploded. And even more, you can see it…which means you can tell more easily what is happening when you are treating it. In medical school, I thought at first that cardiology and neurosurgery were the most interesting, but then did a dermatology elective and realized that the skin is an amazingly complex and versatile organ. Later on, I was too busy studying to spend much time outside in the sun. Like most teenagers, I would fry my skin in summer when we had sun, and had the usual acne problems. Ok, it was a little bigger than that but not much! I grew up in a small, rainy, lumber town in southwest Washington State – a lot like the town in the Twighlight books and movies (Forks, Washington). Many people have asked me how I got interested in skin in the first place. ![]() In her free time she enjoys hiking, open water swimming, cycling, travelling, cooking, and time with her family and friends.
