Physician Assistants and Nurse Practitioners are an integral part of our team to help offer you effective and timely medical care.

I graduated from Bemidji State University with a degree in exercise science before earning a Master of Arts degree in athletic training from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. I began my career as a certified athletic trainer here at Heartland Orthopedic Specialists, where I developed a passion for orthopedics.

I went on to earn my Master of Science degree in physician assistant studies from Northwestern College. My background as a certified athletic trainer provided a strong foundation for my career as a physician assistant and continues to influence my approach to patient care. I am excited to return to Heartland Orthopedic Specialists and continue caring for patients.

Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, spending time outdoors with my husband and son, and staying active through exercise and a healthy lifestyle.
