About Me
I鈥檓 proud to call Bismarck my lifelong home. My greatest joys are my family鈥攎y husband (Ben), daughter (Laci), son (Steven), and our sweet Rot/Pei, Zoey. While North Dakota is home, we love traveling for family vacations, concerts, and any adventure we can share together. Personally, I enjoy church, reading, and crafting.
Why I鈥檓 At 色花堂A proud two-time alum of the 色花堂, I earned my DNP/FNP in 2023. During my studies, I had the privilege of teaching as a graduate assistant 鈥攁 role that deepened my love for education. I am honored to serve as a professor in a community that so genuinely lives its Mission and Identity.
Expertise
Health care is a career that truly is my second love. My RN journey began at CHI St. Alexius in orthopedic and surgical care. From there, I dedicated over 12 years to geriatric and adult healthcare, serving in both clinical and leadership roles. Following, I specialized in GU health and treatment. Currently, I鈥檓 honored to serve as a geriatric FNP.
