I was born and raised in the Grand Rapids, MN, area, surrounded by the warmth of a close knit community. I embarked on a fulfilling career as a registered nurse with over 17 years of experience in various healthcare settings, a majority of those years dedicated to critical care. As my experience as a registered nurse grew, so did my desire to make a greater impact on the lives of individuals in the community. Becoming a nurse practitioner has allowed me to expand my knowledge and skills, allowing me to provide comprehensive care to patients. I am excited about the future as I continue to pursue my passion in emergency medicine. My ultimate goal is to bring comfort, healing, and hope to every individual I am privileged to serve.

Outside of my professional life, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, exploring the great outdoors, vacations, and running.
