Family Medicine Physician, Mother of 4, Author and Rancher.

 

I know firsthand how daunting it can feel to make significant life changes, like facing what seems to be an uphill battle or leaving behind your only support system-your family.  Embarking on a journey that required over a decade of schooling to achieve my dream was intimidating, to say the least.  However, by taking small, manageable steps, I made my dream achievable.  I apply this same approach with my patients every day, and it's truly rewarding to see their health goals become reality.

From a young age I learned the values of hard work and compassion, often serving as the primary caretaker for my younger siblings and our animals.  This sense of responsibility and care has stayed with me, shaping my approach to patient care today.  My early experiences as a certified nursing assistant as a teenager further ignited my passion for helping others in a medical setting and solidified my aspiration to become a doctor dedicated to making a real difference in people's lives.

I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Nevada Las Vegas in Cell Biology and Biochemistry in 2001. In 2007, I became a Medical Doctor graduating from the University of North Dakota School of Medicine, then completing my Residency training in Family Medicine and Board Certification. What a celebration that was! As a Family Physician I have been privileged to help thousands of patients with holistic care, compassion and dignity. Now I am here to help you.

You can find me cheering on my kiddos at one of their many events, learning new workout routines from my oldest daughter, healthy recipes from my youngest daughter, down at the barn or on the back of a horse!
