After serving our country, as a medic, in the US Army I became to realize the pleasure & satisfaction of providing care for those in need of medical assistance.
Completing my educational requirements to become a Physician Assistant was not without challenge. It wasn't until 1993 that I graduated from Western Michigan University.
Since 1993 I have worked in both emergency & urgent care medicine with the majority, 19 years +, of my career spent working in the Emergency Department at Hurley Medical Center.
It was with great honor that I served the community of Flint which was often those with economic challenges and limited access to care. This experience, Level 1 trauma center, has provided my the experience, education and knowledge required to function at the highest capacity.
As a dedicated and compassionate family nurse practitioner, I am committed to providing comprehensive, patient-centered care. With 5+ years of experience in healthcare, I possess a strong background in primary care, disease prevention and management, and health promotion.
I am driven by a passion for improving health outcomes and enhancing the quality of life for my patients. I'm honored to be a part of your health journey and excited to bring my passion for patient-centered care and dedication to you!

I have over 15 years experience in healthcare- 9 of which have been spent in Family Practice and Urgent Care. I am comfortable with holistic medicine; and I implement it whenever possible. I can help with preventative medicine, the correction of type 2 diabetes, the correction of the gut microbiome (the basis of most disease), and vaginal health. I can help with sick visits, mild depression, mild anxiety, and in Minnesota I can help with ADHD and Medical Marijuana cards.
