A CU Medicine provider.

My goal is to work as a team with patients to optimize their health and help them achieve their goals. Ideally, allowing patients to stay independent and partake in activities that are important to them for as long as they would like to. I take a whole body approach with patients, taking into account not only their physical health, but their emotional/mental health as well.

I can often be found in the beautiful outdoors with family and friends. I grew up on a 32,000 acre cow-calf ranch that instilled a deep passion for the outdoors and caring for animals and others. I enjoy hiking, paddle boarding, camping, skiing, fishing, and playing sports. When not outside I enjoy cooking, reading, and watching sports volleyball (GO HUSKERS), football (GO BUFFS), and basketball.

Clinical interest for patients

My clinical and research interests include:

2) The impact MS has on one's mental health and how to increase resiliency when living with a chronic condition.

3.) How follow up appointment (timely), patient education, self-advocacy, and shared decision making impact patient outcomes.

4) Women's health and reproductive counseling/education in the setting of MS.
