I grew up in a small town around Omaha, Nebraska where I was always on the go. I played many different sports growing up including soccer, volleyball, basketball and softball. I eventually played softball for Nebraska Wesleyan University where I received my undergraduate degree in Exercise Science and Biology with plans of going to dental school. Little did I know that the COVID-19 pandemic would completely change my direction. 

 

That time highlighted how vital it is to support others in maintaining their physical and mental health. Growing up in a chiropractic family (aunt and uncle), it took the pandemic to help me see how powerful and transformative this work can be. I decided I wanted to switch my direction from the dental field and ended up attending Cleveland University in Kansas City where I received my Doctorate in Chiropractic. Today, I can’t imagine myself in any other type of medical profession. This profession empowers patients to live a holistic and more active lifestyle. The chiropractic adjustment is a gentle and non-invasive way to help improve the quality of life, which is what everyone wants. 

 

After relocating to North Carolina, I’ve been enjoying everything this vibrant state has to offer—from hiking local trails to discovering new farmers markets each weekend. I live with my two dogs, Wrigley and Yaika, who are constantly keeping me on my toes. When I am not in the clinic, you can find me watching baseball, Husker volleyball or traveling.
