Philosophy of Care

“It is the greatest privilege to care for patients. My goal is to offer each patient all the necessary information and guide them to a decision regarding their care based on their personal circumstances and values. I strive to provide whole person care, not just treating a diagnosis. I pride myself on being up-to-date on all aspects of breast care so that I can be the best advocate for my patients.“

Personal

Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, running half and full marathons, reading, cooking, traveling, and spending time with my family and friends. I love being outside as much as possible, even in Minnesota winters.
