Hometown: Fairmont, MN

Best part of my patient visit: When a patient leaves feeling good about our visit and that I care about their well being.

Why I became a provider: Being there for people when they are not well and supporting and guiding patients to improve their health.

What I tell my friends and family: Stay up-to-date with yearly physicals.

How I spend my free time: With my husband and two children. Running, yoga and healthy living.

What patients say about me: I'm easy to talk to. Sometimes I run behind if a patient needs extra time.

Practice philosophy: I care about listening to you, making you feel comfortable, having you feel part of the medical process and play a role in your own health. I focus on general health and wellness and really strive to provide the best care I am able. I hope you leave with a clear understanding of my instructions and have your questions answered.

Favorite health tip: Maintain a healthy diet with lots of fruits and vegetables and get regular physical activity.
