I am originally from Forest Lake, MN. I completed my undergraduate studies at Bemidji State and earned my bachelor's degree in Exercise Science. I competed on their track and field team as a thrower all four years. I went on to Northwestern Health Sciences University, where I earned my Doctorate with an emphasis in sports and rehabilitation. I worked with many teams during my internships, such as the Minnesota Vixen, the women’s professional football team, ultimate frisbee, USA tug-of-war, and Jiu-Jitsu athletes. In my free time, I go hunting and fishing with my family. I crochet, collect plants and rocks. We have an extensive rock collection at our house. I have also been practicing Karate for 16 years, and you can usually find me at the gym doing some new lifting challenge or figuring out new things to try. I chose to become a chiropractor because I noticed the benefits and improvements in my ability to compete as an athlete, as well as the benefits my parents saw when taking me for appointments when I was younger. I want to help the body heal from the inside and to promote the idea that “not all pain is bad pain,” and to help others differentiate between injury and activity-related soreness. I want to help people of all ages, athletes, and those who may want to start moving more but aren’t sure where to begin.
