I have a passion for helping others improve their health and find a great sense of fulfillment when my patients achieve their goals and desires. I have even been honored to have the highest patient satisfaction rate for 4 continuous years when practicing in Mountain Home. At Physicians Care Centers I split my time between our Immediate Care and Optimal Care clinics because I love to see patients who need treatments for both chronic and acute conditions.
When I was 14 years old, I was in a serious car accident that pushed me into healthcare because of the amazing medical care I received and – in my own small way – return the favor to those who saved my life. During this accident I lost one of my best friends and I was in a coma for several days as medical professionals and my family wondered if I would survive. After several difficult months of recovery, I am here today and my desire to work in the medical field has come true.
I am a home-grown rough and tumble farm gal with 4 sisters and no brothers. I was born in Rexburg and only moved 1 mile in my entire childhood. I attended Rigby high school where I met my current husband. We dated on and off until he left to serve a 2 year LDS mission. During that time, I completed my studies at BYU Provo and graduated with my degree in Exercise Science. Upon his return, we married and after a year of working I was accepted into the Physician Assistant Program at Idaho State University where I graduated with high honors in 2008. After graduation I moved to Mountain Home and enjoyed working with the undeserved population in that area for 8 years while growing my family.
When I am not seeing patients, it’s guaranteed that I am spending time with my kids. My husband and I were blessed with 4 children, including our twins and we love to play pretty much any type of board game and spend time outdoors. We like to go boating and I recently discovered my love for fishing! If we’re not outdoors, we like to spend our time cheering on the BYU Football team or reading together as a family.
I joined the Physicians Care Centers team in 2016 and I have enjoyed getting to know my patients and love receiving new ones as much as I can!
