I am a nurse practitioner that specializes in family practice. I first attended Clarkson College in Omaha, Nebraska to obtain my BSN. I then worked as a registered nurse in several areas, including inpatient Med/Surg, Labor and Delivery, Postpartum, and in a rural health clinic. After a few years of experience, I decided to further my education. I received my MSN at Chamberlain University with a focus of becoming a family nurse practitioner. I have always loved caring for patients and hope to continue to improve the lives of patients and their families. My husband and I have a four month old daughter and two dogs that keep us very busy. We love to spend time with family, cheer on the Iowa Hawkeyes, and travel!
