I am a certified nurse practitioner specializing in family medicine.
Hometown: Owatonna, MN
I am passionate about: caring for families from birth to the elderly. It's important for people of all ages to receive medical care.
Most people don't know: that I was a music major for two years before switching to nursing.
If I wasn't a provider, I would be a: music therapist or parish nurse because both heal the soul as well as the body.
One of the challenges of this career that I enjoy is: the ever-changing landscape of medicine because it is rewarding to keep up with best practices because it benefits for my patients.
Something I have learned from my patients is: that everyone has a story to tell, and every situation helps you become the person you are today.
I became a provider because: I have always wanted to make a difference in people's lives. While working as a nurse, I realized I could use my knowledge more efficiently as an advanced practice provider.
The best health advice I have received is: "If you can't pronounce an ingredient on the food label, do you really want to put that into your body?"
