• Areas of interest in Family Medicine: Comprehensive care to all ages with emphasis on preventative care.
• Areas of interest outside medicine: Spending time with my husband and kids, pickleball, reading sci-fi/fantasy.

What I love most about family medicine are the relationships that are fostered over time with patients and their families. I am passionate about metabolic and obesity medicine as well as preventative care for all ages. After residency I plan to practice as an outpatient primary care physician here in Joplin, where I was born and raised. Outside of residency, I love spending time with my husband and three kids, reading sci-fi and fantasy books, playing pickleball, traveling, going to concerts and sleeping!
