I am originally from Decatur, graduating from Mt. Zion High School. After receiving my undergraduate degree in nursing at Millikin University, I went on to graduate from St. Louis University with a Master’s in Advance Practice Nursing.

I was inspired to work in orthopedic surgery because of the opportunity to serve my community in a manner that I am passionate about. My areas of interest include joint replacement and trauma.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and dog Charlie, doing Crossfit, and reading.
