Overview

In school, I developed a strong interest for diabetes and had an opportunity to work with some amazing doctors. I enjoy working with people with chronic illness, helping them cope and developing treatment plans that work well for their lives. Diabetes care is my passion and working with this patient population gives me so much joy. I always take time to get to know my patients, listening and striving to understand their particular situations. My highest priority is helping patients figure out regimens that give them a sense of control so they can go on living as normally as possible. I grew up playing hockey and played for the University of Minnesota. Now I enjoy watching my three kids play hockey, among other sports. We love spending time together outdoors; they truly make life fun.
