I have been a practicing physician assistant in the Mankato area for nearly ten years. I am a grateful clinician, assistant professor and researcher. It brings me joy to care for my patients and provide disease-oriented, evidence-based medical care. I practice shared decision making with each of my patients and their loved ones. 

I am an avid reader and enjoy spending time with my family, camping and being on the water.
