She completed residency at the Spokane Family Medicine Residency as part of the Colville Rural Training Track. She chose family medicine due to the love of supporting people through each step of life’s journey from birth to the end of life. Her passion for rural medicine began while growing up in an agricultural community on a small farm. She enjoys the sense of community and innovation that comes with working in rural areas. Her goal is to increase access to evidence based care while providing a holistic approach. Her public health background influences her preventative medicine approach and belief that to provide care is to know someone more than just their ailments, but it is to know them as a person from their family, relationships, goals, and way of life.
