Biography
I began my healthcare career at Memorial Medical Center in Springfield, IL where I worked as a scrub tech in the OR from 2009-2012. I returned to MMC after graduating with my BSN where I worked as an RN until graduating with my DNP in 2018. I immediately moved to Colorado where I spent my first two years working as an NP at Arrowhead Correctional Center in Canon City. It was an amazing opportunity and I gained a lot of experience there but eventually left to work at Colorado Pain Care in 2020. I spent 4 years with CPC before deciding to leave and join the MIPS team. I am passionate about advocating for my patients to get the care they deserve.
Personal
I am married and in my free time you can find me hanging out with my husband and our two dogs, helping to organize a local run club, discovering new places to eat, and enjoying all that Colorado has to offer.
