Medical Focus

I am a board-certified Family Medicine provider who treats patients of all ages at our Stewart Clinic. I have special interests in Cardiology, Endocrinology, and Dermatology. Before medical school, I studied animal science, biology, and endocrinology, and did cardiovascular and allergy research. After my children were born, I went on to nursing school and then to medical school because there was a shortage of rural providers in our area. I use a practical approach with my patients for medication management and lifestyle changes.

Education & Credentials

  • Bachelor of Science, Nursing: Mankato State University School of Nursing, MN
  • Medical School: University of Minnesota, Minneapolis
  • Residency: St. Cloud Hospital/Mayo Family Practice
  • Board-Certified: American Board of Family Medicine
  • Award: Minnesota Family Medicine Resident of the Year, 2000

My Passion

I enjoy working at Glencoe Regional Health, just a stone’s throw from people’s farms and homes, making medical care accessible to our rural area. As an advocate for my patients, I help them understand how to live in their best health, even with chronic conditions like heart disease or diabetes.

After Hours

My husband, Loren, and I run a Registered Holstein dairy farm south of Hutchinson. Our four children are grown, all working in careers serving the agriculture community. We enjoy spending time with our grandchildren. We look forward to participating in the McLeod County Fair and the Minnesota State Fair every year with our friends and family. I really enjoy all animals and appreciate the human-animal bond in our lives. I also like flowers, bird watching, and photography.
