What I Do
My philosophy of care is rooted in the belief that by being a supportive advocate and providing clients with a safe, trustworthy environment, we can transform their healthcare experiences.
My clinical interests include migraine headaches, tremors, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and dementia.
Why I Love My Work
What I enjoy most about my job is the collaborative working relationships. I value the opportunity to build positive provider-client relationships based on mutual trust and respect. I'm deeply grateful for the chance to serve my community.
My motivation to pursue a career in healthcare stemmed from witnessing the challenges people in rural Minnesota face in accessing care. I wanted to make a difference in how healthcare is delivered. Neurology became my focus because several members of my husband's family have neurological conditions, which ignited my passion to learn more and advocate for these patients.
Getting to Know Me
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, golfing, fishing, and traveling. I also love being with my 13 grandchildren, directing music at church, and taking quiet walks. A unique fact about me is that I was a gymnast in high school and coached gymnastics for several years.
