Biography What I Do
My approach is to work with any patient to understand their concerns for their health and to support them through all stages of his/her life to achieve their health goals.
Why I Love My Work
I enjoy multiple things! I really enjoy learning from and working with my colleagues and nursing staff. I also enjoy learning from my diverse patients themselves and helping them navigate through any health concerns that arise. Lastly, I really enjoy providing obstetrical care.
Both of my parents have gone through their own journeys with cancer- as a result from this, from an early age, I have had an immense appreciation for the power of medicine. During my medical training, I was very fortunate to be placed in Redwood Falls as a medical student for nine months. I had the opportunity to learn from the physicians out here. In seeing all that they do for their community and the diversity of care that they give their patients, from managing multiple generations of pregnancies in the same family to coordinating cancer care, that experience convinced me that family medicine was the right specialty for me.
Getting to Know
Outside of work, I enjoy running, walking with my dog, yoga, and listening to a good medical podcast.
