Mankato, MN
Hospital and Clinic
1025 Marsh St., Mankato, MN 56001Provider's Bio
I am grateful to serve our local communities as they entrust their care to Mayo Clinic. As a nurse practitioner, I look forward to serving patients in an innovative, advanced practice and delivering high-quality care closer to the patient's home.
Aligning with my practice integrity and core values, I foster a sense of patient connectedness. Connecting with the patient helps facilitate discussion of their health history, familial health history, risk factors and overall health well-being. I am committed to my patients in providing individualized guided treatment, primarily evidence-based care.
In my practice, I facilitate thorough patient education in collaboration with the patient and the care team. Patient education boosts patient's experience, confidence and morale. With my experience in a diverse environment of medical facilities and a diverse population, I ensure my patients maintain their dignity and humanity, especially in challenging and concomitant health conditions. I am compassionate in serving patients regardless of their backgrounds and health beliefs.
In my free time, I do activities and fun things with my family and friends. I like working out, running, hiking trails, indoor rock climbing, traveling, reading books, camping, yoga, eating out in locally owned restaurants, visiting wineries and visiting military and historic museums.
