I was born and raised in Woodbury, Minnesota. Coming from a family of nurses, I was interested in medicine as a future career from the start. After shadowing a PA-C during my senior year of high school, I knew that this was the ultimate career goal for me.

I attended Lehigh University in Pennsylvania for my undergraduate degree, while also getting to live out my dream of being a collegiate basketball player. After four years, I returned to Minnesota to attend Physician Assistant school and be closer to family.

I realized my desire to work within the specialty of women’s health early on in my training. Furthermore, seeing first hand a close family member battle endometrial cancer, this specialty is very dear to my heart. I value creating intentional and trusting relationships with patients. I feel blessed and privileged to be able to spend my career helping women in whatever way they may need.
