  Biography

  What I Do
  When seeing patients, I establish a working relationship with them and utilize a team approach to develop their treatment plan. I help my patients understand not only what is being done to treat their condition, but most importantly, why it is being done. I believe this approach leads to better outcomes for my patients. My clinical interest is primarily Vascular Surgery.

  Why I Love My Work
  I decided to go into medicine because of my passion for helping others. While there are many professions one can choose from in life, medicine is the one I was strongly drawn to because I can have a life-saving impact on people day in and day out. I chose vascular surgery because of the complex nature of the patients’ needs and the intricacy of the procedures performed. What I enjoy most about my job is getting to know patients and watching their health improve as the treatments patients receive can often provide a whole new outlook on life. I chose to join CentraCare because of the incredibly helpful and friendly team here in St. Cloud along with their great reputation for providing care to the people of central Minnesota.

  Getting to Know Me
  In relocating from Illinois to Minnesota, I am excited about the active outdoor lifestyle offered here. I am always looking for adventure and enjoy seeing the beauty that nature has to offer. In my free time, I like exercising and playing sports including baseball, golf, hockey, volleyball, skiing, and snowboarding.
