What is your practice philosophy? Get to know and connect with a patient about their fears, concerns, hopes and expectations for medical care. I enjoy educating patients about orthopedic injuries and ailments and develop a treatment plan according to their lifestyle and goals.
Hometown: Fridley, MN
What are you passionate about? And why? Physical activity and health, helping a person to become the best version of themselves
If I wasn’t a provider, I would be a: yoga instructor
Why did you become a provider? When did you know this was the career for you? I’ve always enjoyed science, the process of medicine, the challenge and complexity of the human body, the nature of injuries and our amazing ability to heal.
Something I have learned from my patients is: Everyone has a different perspective on life, different goals, dreams, and values that reflect what’s important to them.
One of the challenges of this career that I enjoy is: I have never met two patients that are the same or experience health issues the same way. It constantly teaches me a new approach to my discipline, stretches my comfort level and expands my ability to think and problem solve.
My personal health goal is: To remain active and be respectful of my body, and to teach my children to make healthy choices and find ways they enjoy moving.
What are you most proud of? My continued drive and ambition to move forward, better myself, strive to learn more and be true to myself to live my fullest life.
