Grew up in the working class, my early jobs were at a factory, construction, and a welder. I decided to go back to school in my late 20s, after being inspired by traveling all over the world in the off seasons of construction. As a proud Minnesota native, I completed my medical education and residency at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. 

My patient-centered approach prioritizes safety and accessibility, especially for historically marginalized communities. I am proficient in gender care, addiction care, and trauma-informed care, ensuring that every patient receives personalized and respectful treatment.

I thoroughly enjoy being involved in the Minneapolis community, where we are raising our family. You can find me participating in local events, enjoying outdoor activities, and running the Twin Cities Marathon every fall.
