Health Clinic Staff

 

	Naomi Kitajima Health Services Coordinator and Nurse Practitioner/Adult Health   I enjoy working with the students and employees at Foothill College. I have a master's degree as an Adult Nurse Practitioner. My past experience includes Peace Corps Brazil, Cardiopulmonary Surgery, Refugee Health, Spinal Cord Unit, Intensive Care, San Mateo County foster home and Hope House Volunteer. My family, church and community support me and give me much energy to pass on to others.
	Katherine Kinner Nurse Practitioner, Family Practice, MS   I am a long time-resident of the Bay Area. Most of my professional life has been spent in hospital nursing. I am excited by my recent career change and am looking forward to working in an environment that encourages wellness and healthy living.
	Sung Cho Medical Assistant   As a medical assistant, I truly enjoy working with the students, faculty and staff of Foothill College. I am a graduate of UC Santa Barbara and like many of you, also a Foothill College student preparing for an exciting and rewarding career as a clinician in healthcare. When not in the health clinic or in class, I enjoy the beautiful surroundings of the Bay Area by cycling and swimming.
	Crystal Dvorak Physician Assistant, MS   I was raised in the Midwest and moved to the Bay Area to work at Planned Parenthood in 2005. I attended Rosalind Frankling University of Health Sciences where I earned a Masters of Science in Physician Assistant Studies. I thoroughly enjoy working with patients at Planned Parenthood to improve on health care and opportunities.
	Mary Mahoney Registered Dietition and Nutritionist, RD   As a nutritionist, I enjoy helping others discover the benefits of improved health through tasty food and good nutrition. My areas of interest include wellness, weight management, disease prevention, and more! In addition to working at Foothill, I also provide nutrition counseling services to Santa Clara University, Evergreen Valley College, and the YMCA in Mountain View. I used to work in a hospital but now find working with patients one-on-one to be much more rewarding.
