I grew up in rural central Minnesota and have stayed in Minnesota throughout my medical training. I started in Duluth, where I completed my bachelor degree and then moved on to the University of Minnesota for medical school. After that, I completed my pediatric residency at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. I am excited to be in Mankato and to get to know the community.
In my time outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two children. We spend a lot of time outdoors - including biking, kayaking, hiking and gardening.
