Why I chose to pursue a career in healthcare:

I always enjoyed studying in school. My free time was spent on service projects and nursing animals back to health on my family's farm. I quickly realized that a career in medicine was a great way to combine my scientific mind with my passion for caring for others. I became a PA to bridge the gaps among provider-patient relationships in order to provide the best care to my community.

What I want my patients to know about me:

I hope to foster a safe space, even amidst your most stressful moments, where we can work together to get you back to doing the things you love most. I aspire to provide excellent education to my patients regarding their diagnoses, treatment options and preventive measures.

What I do when I'm not seeing patients:

I can often be spotted with a coffee in hand, reading a mystery novel. I enjoy outdoor walks, horseback riding, weightlifting, and spending time with my family and friends.
