I have always had a passion for medicine and research. I chose a career in medicine not only to improve the lives of my patients, but also to discover new and innovative ways to improve the practice. I strive to look at each patient individually, get to know them well and make sure I have every piece of the puzzle before tailoring my treatment plan to the individual.
It's my goal to have each patient leave my office feeling seen, heard and understood. I will always attempt to look at the bigger picture, not just the present complaint, with the hopes of solidifying the diagnosis. If I am unable to offer sufficient management of patient complaints, I will attempt to find innovative solutions, or refer the patient to the correct department or provider to ensure they receive the best possible care. It's my hope to accurately diagnoses, sufficiently treat and get to know each of my patients.
I grew up in a small town near Mankato, Minnesota, and completed my undergraduate degree in Biomedical Sciences at Minnesota State University, Mankato. I then moved to the beautiful north shores and settled in Duluth, Minnesota, to attend the physician assistant program and the College of Saint Scholastica where I graduated in the top of my class.
In my spare time, I enjoy anything outdoors, reading, painting, and playing board games with friends and family.Training & Credentials
