“I completed medical school at the University of South Dakota School of Medicine and then residency in family practice at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. After residency, I worked at People’s Health Center in Lincoln, NE, for over 7 years, including time spent there as the medical director. Following this, I worked at Primary Health Care in Iowa. In 2014, my husband and I moved to Virginia to be closer to family, and I started working with Central VA Health Services at the Fredericksburg site, where I still work on a very limited basis. I have always worked at community health centers and decided to open my own practice to have more flexibility for both myself and my patients, and to still be able serve the community.”
