Dr. Hanks is originally from Chicago, and moved to California to attend UC Berkeley, where she studied anthropology. After college, she spent several years playing music in the Bay Area and touring the West Coast before transitioning to medicine. She attended UC Davis for medical school, where she received the Crystie Halsted Award for Excellence in Pediatrics. She then moved back to Oakland to complete her internship and residency in Pediatrics at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland. 

She is thrilled to join the team at Tamalpais Pediatrics and to get to know the Marin community. In addition to Tamalpais Pediatrics, Dr. Hanks also works at the Pediatric After Hours Clinic and as a hospitalist at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland. She has special interests in adolescent health and working with LGBTQI+ and gender diverse youth.

Dr. Hanks lives in Oakland with her partner and two mischievous cats. When she isn’t working, she spends most of her time with friends and family. Her hobbies include woodworking, gardening, trying to keep her tropical plants alive, and baking way too much sourdough bread.
