I’m so excited to be joining the team at 360 MD. I grew up in Creston, IA, with five siblings, so there was never a dull moment! Right after graduation, I decided to join the Army and became a pharmacy technician. But my thirst for knowledge didn’t stop there—I earned my BS in Psychology from Campbell University, just outside of Fort Bragg, NC.

From there, I knew I wanted to keep growing, so I was accepted into the University of Nebraska’s Physician Assistant Program. Over the next 20 years, I had the privilege of serving as a PA all over the world. My last duty station was at Fort Hood (now Fort Cavazos) in Texas, and I absolutely fell in love with the state. I decided to make it my home, and Texas graciously adopted me!

For the past eight years, I’ve focused on psychiatry, which truly speaks to my passion for the connection between mental health and physical wellbeing. As a PA, I try to bring empathy, intelligence, and reflection into my work. Outside of the office, I’m all about staying healthy—whether it’s running, yoga, or practicing breath work. At home, I’ve got two teenagers and a couple of furbabies keeping me on my toes.

I’m really looking forward to contributing to the 360 MD team and bringing my experience to help make a difference.
