I grew up in Mendota Heights, Minnesota.  I graduated from the University of Minnesota -Twin Cities with  B.S. in Kinesiology and a Minor in Coaching.  I received my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine in 2012.

I officially joined the team at Flying Cloud Animal Hospital in 2018 as a part-time associate veterinarian and transitioned to full-time in December 2024.  Prior to that, I worked as a relief veterinarian throughout the twin cities (including here since 2015).

I enjoy the relationships and continued care that I have established with my patients and clients.

Outside of work, I spend time with my 3 children and is always training for my next marathon.
