I grew up in South Minneapolis and am the youngest of four girls-so you could say I was raised in a crash course on women’s health from the start. I began my nursing career in pediatrics, then moved into an adolescent teen clinic where I discovered my passion for women’s health. It quickly became clear: this was the work that felt like home.  Over time, that passion has only grown, fueled by both professional and personal experiences. 

Infertility is an area especially close to my heart. My husband and I faced a long and winding road to build our family – a journey that’s given me deep empathy for the emotional, physical and financial toll it can take. Today, I bring that personal understanding, along with clinical expertise, to support patients and partners navigating similar paths.
