Note:
Hometown: Prior Lake
Best part of my work: Knowing I have connected with my patient and working together to create a plan of care we are all comfortable with carrying out.
Why I became a nurse: I was interested in anatomy and physiology and the challenges people face from a disease.
What I tell friends and family: Let pain be your guide - don't ignore it. If, after several days, your body is still talking to you make an appointment with your provider.
How I spend my free time: With my two dogs, traveling, watching sporting events and learning to paddleboard.
What patients say about me: They say I'm a good listener and appreciate that I take the time to review my patients' health history before the appointment begins.
Favorite health tip: Keep yourself healthy and well so, you can be a better spouse, parent, and friend.
Practice philosophy: I treat my patients as I would someone from my own family.
