My Passion
I was drawn to the medical field because I’m passionate about helping others in a meaningful way – serving as a positive and supportive guide through tough days and difficult medical diagnoses. My interest was initially sparked by my dad’s career in the medical field and fueled by my interest in health and science. I’m so blessed to have my parents who taught me many things, but most importantly to choose a career that will make a positive difference in the world.
After Hours
Spending quality time with my family and friends is what fills my cup the most. My husband, daughter, dog, and I live on my grandparents’ farm outside of Glencoe. We enjoy spending time outside together — walking, gardening, doing house and farm projects, and being at the lake. I love cooking and reading, and all things health and wellness. Sports have been a big part of my life and I continue to prioritize exercise and fitness. Faith and mindfulness play a big role in keeping me centered, both personally and professionally.
