I am a family practice nurse practitioner with over a decade of clinical experience. Our rural family practice clinic is very hands-on and we don’t always have access to specialists, so my experience is particularly diverse. I am a freelance writer passionate about connecting people with needed information. I also work per diem in urgent care and have held roles in leadership at the local hospital so I am in touch with the nuances of the current healthcare climate. I have been involved extensively with the introduction of technological advances in the hospital and clinic, including AI documentation, and have enjoyed helping to bring these advances to my colleagues.
I live in the mountains with my family and take advantage of all the activities we have access to. I am a trail and ultrarunner, mountain biker, and skier. I am a volunteer for our local mountain rescue/search and rescue. I have a special interest in working with endurance athletes and providing wilderness medicine. I am passionate about life and about my work.
