I was born and raised in Centerville, Utah. Growing up I enjoyed yearly ski trips to Utah’s ski resorts and boating with my family. I attended high school at Davis High in high honors. I then went on to become a CNA working at a specialized tracheotomy unit of a local hospital while finishing up my undergraduate degree. I graduated with honors from Weber State University obtaining a Bachelor’s Degree in Human Performance, Sport’s Medicine, and Nutrition. During this time, I completed a service project at a women’s abuse shelter where I compiled an almost 100 page book of resources and guides for abused survivors and taught classes in nutrition, exercise, and mindfulness. At the time this was a huge undertaking while juggling school, work, and family but is among one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had in the healthcare field.

With a desire to live in the beauty of rural Idaho, I applied to Idaho State University’s Physician Assistant program and successfully completed the program in 2014. I quickly went to work at State Hospital South in psychiatry and completed an additional Certificate of Added Qualification in Psychiatry through the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants.

After a few years of work at the state hospital I decided to further my knowledge base and looked at other local clinics that encouraged the kind of care I was hoping to provide to my future patients. After a brief encounter with Dr. Warren Willey and Randy Vawdrey I felt that what Phyisicians Care Centers stood for aligned with my own precepts. I began my employment in 2018 to begin working at Physicians Immediate Care and Physicians Mental Health – where I’m able to help others by treating both body and mind.

When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my kids and husband. I particularly enjoy hiking, mountain biking, and gardening. My current pursuit is finding ways that my family and myself can reduce our environmental impact.
