Upon graduation from St. Olaf College, I spent two years in Mali, West Africa as a health care volunteer for the Peace Corps. It was during this impressionable journey that I decided to pursue a career in dentistry.
My dental degree is from the University of Minnesota. I also earned a Masters of Science degree while completing my pediatric dental residency at the University of Minnesota. This past fall I became a board certified pediatric dentist.
Loving children, from Mali to Mankato, is the foundation of my decision to become a pediatric dentist. I aspire to inspire young lives, making a difference with potential lasting effects. I enjoy being not only a dentist, but a teacher, a coach, and a mentor of oral health care and prevention of disease.
I enjoy the outdoors, I love to travel, and I value spending time with family and friends.
