I am a native of Nicollet County- home to my family's hog farm where I grew up. I received my undergraduate degree from the University of Wisconsin- River Falls and my doctorate in Veterinary Medicine degree from the University of Minnesota in 2010.

After two years in private practice, I joined Nicollet Veterinary Clinic in 2012. My husband and I have two children. Away from work, I enjoy spending time with my family, baking, and helping with our small herd of show pigs.
