I joined the UI Health Care to be part of a dynamic, collaborative environment dedicated to advancing the health of Iowans and the greater Midwest. Practicing at a premier academic medical center allows me to utilize world-class resources while working alongside a multidisciplinary team of students, residents, and expert providers. I truly value the role UIHC plays as a tertiary care center, offering specialized, high-level medicine to patients seeking expert care for complex conditions.

My path to becoming a Gastroenterology Nurse Practitioner was deeply personal, rooted in a family history of gastrointestinal disorders. Serving as a steadfast advocate for my own loved ones through the trials and triumphs of their health journeys, inspired me to provide that same dedicated support for my patients. I strive to practice with the 'heart of a nurse and the clinical expertise of a provider,' blending a passion for patient education with a deep understanding of the GI tract to help patients through all stages of disease management.

The most rewarding part of my work is getting to know the person behind the patient. I love learning about my patients’ hobbies and what makes them excited about their daily lives. I believe understanding these personal motivations is essential to navigating the management of their overall and gastrointestinal health. My goal is to empower my patients with the knowledge and care they need to overcome health challenges in order to live their lives to the fullest.
