Biography:

I went to nursing school in Cheyenne, Wyoming and started my career in healthcare there 11 years ago. That is also where I met my husband, Cody. Prior to that I worked as a flight attendant where I enjoyed traveling the world, meeting new people, and figuring out what I wanted to do with my life. After working at several large medical centers, I found myself a bit frustrated by healthcare and decided to go back to school to learn more and get into a position where I could really make a difference. I enjoy helping others, and I feel that my nursing background will help me to be a more holistic healthcare provider. Additionally, my husband and I have 3 daughters. We have grown to love this community in our 4+ years here, and we are excited to stay and call Kemmerer home. Some random things about me: my childhood dream was to be a costume designer. I am an avid seamstress and enjoy sewing in my free time. Halloween is my favorite holiday. I find medicine fascinating and love learning about the human body and how to help people achieve health and wellness. I am so excited to start my career as a healthcare provider and I look forward to the challenges ahead.
