Physician Assistant
I grew up in North Minneapolis, MN, and graduated from Luther College with a Bachelor of Arts in Biology as a first-generation college student in 2015. After graduation, I moved to Iowa City to pursue an interest in medicine while working as an inpatient phlebotomist and certified nursing assistant for two years before deciding to apply to PA school. I then made the move to Dubuque in 2018 and started PA school at the University of Dubuque.
In 2020, I both graduated and got married to my very supportive husband, Shane, who is a brewer at Dimensional Brewing Company. Right out of school, I spent a little over a year commuting to the University of Wisconsin-Madison to work in cardiothoracic surgery. Dubuque quickly became home to us, and I knew that I wanted to take care of patients who live within the local community. When the opportunity became available, I transitioned to the field of ENT head & neck surgery in 2022. When not in the office, I enjoy hiking with my husband and two border collies, yoga, reading, traveling and true crime podcasts.
