Our Family Medicine Residents

I enjoy caring for patients and families from different backgrounds and throughout all life stages. My more specific professional interests within family medicine include women's health and obstetrics, addiction medicine, procedures, and pediatrics.

I enjoy spending quality time with my husband, daughter and dogs Lyla (Corgi) and Moose (German Shepherd x Border Collie Mix). I love taking nature walks, reading, playing pickleball, and discovering new restaurants and coffee cafes with friends and family.

My goal is to build lasting relationships with patients and their families by taking a compassionate, whole-person approach to care. I strive to support both physical and mental well-being, recognizing that every patient’s health journey is unique. I aim to be a trusted resource and partner, empowering patients with the knowledge and guidance they need to make informed decisions about their care.

Fun fact: before medical school I did dinosaur / paleontology research for 6 years working in both Montana and Wyoming. I love staying active and being outdoors, particularly visiting Minnesota’s state parks and exploring the North Shore. In addition to that, I love lifting weights and running - having completed 4 marathons while in medical school. I am also a huge book nerd, having read all of Dostoevsky’s works and all the Dune books. Other than being active, I love staying at home with my partner and our two cats while we complete household projects and play card games.

I chose family medicine because it offers the unique opportunity to build meaningful, long-term relationships with patients and their families while providing care across every stage of life. I am passionate about caring for individuals of all ages, from newborns to older adults, and value the continuity that comes from partnering with patients throughout their healthcare journeys.

I love knitting, embroidery, and going on walks with my husband. In my free time, I'm usually working on a craft or reading a book.

My goal is to build a personal connection with each patient. I feel this is the best approach to diagnosing and treating conditions, including any behavioral health concerns. Knowing each patient’s personal health goals allows me to help them with prevention efforts so they can live their best life.

I love to play hockey and pickleball, go skiing/snowboarding or hiking, then come home to a cup of hot tea or coffee and cuddle up with my dog and a good book. I also enjoy video and board games, crochet, playing my violin or going for a cruise on my motorcycle.

I believe good care starts with listening and that a patient’s concerns, goals and priorities should always guide their care. My approach is built on partnership, and I will work together with each patient to create a treatment plan that best fits their individual needs. I strive to treat every patient with the same kindness, respect and compassion that I would want for my own family.

During my spare time, I love kickboxing and practicing martial arts with my dad. I also enjoy studying Japanese, something I worked on before and during medical school, and I hope to continue learning it or even add another language someday. My family is from Waukesha, so I love spending time with them whenever I can—whether that means watching Netflix, cooking, playing with the dogs, or enjoying a big boxing match together!

I chose family medicine because I love working with people of all ages and managing their health throughout their lifetime. Getting to know each patient allows me to partner with them to provide care tailored to their goals and preferences. Through education and tools, I want to empower individuals to address their immediate needs and support their long-term well-being.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our dog. I enjoy rock climbing, traveling, watching women’s wrestling, taking care of my houseplants, and staying active outdoors.
