  What I Do
  I listen to my patients to find out their preferences and recommend treatment options that fit their needs. My clinical interests include women’s health, preventing disease, and treating conditions with minimally invasive measures. As I get older and have more experience, I am becoming more of a minimalist; I strive towards less medication, less imaging, and focus on lifestyle changes.

  Why I Love My Work
  When I was younger, I had a great interest in human biology and had some dynamic teachers that led me to see that I had a knack for medicine.

  I chose to specialize in Family Medicine because I wanted to work with all ages and I especially enjoy taking care of entire families. Getting to know people and helping them improve their health is the best part of my job.

  Joining CentraCare felt like a good fit because of the rich resources and excellent specialists that are available to my patients.

  Getting to Know Me
  I grew up in the area and went to Tech high school. I like this area because of the easy access to bike trails, beautiful scenery and the easy drive to interesting events in communities like the Twin Cities and Duluth. Mostly, though, I like it here because my extended family is nearby. Outside of work, I like biking, hiking, tennis, reading, playing piano and board games.
