I was born and raised in Butte, Montana, on our family ranch, which my family still operates today. Growing up in Montana on the ranch taught me the value of hard work, family, and community. Montana has shaped who I am, and I'm grateful to still call it home.  Sports were also a huge part of my life, and I’ve always loved staying active and enjoying the outdoors.

Healthcare has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. I have been a Registered Nurse for 18 years and have had the opportunity to work in many different areas of healthcare. My educational journey began with a Biology degree from Rocky Mountain College in Billings, followed by an accelerated nursing program at the University of Wyoming. I later earned my Family Nurse Practitioner degree from Gonzaga University. Throughout my career, my favorite part has always been connecting with people and helping them feel their best.

My passion for metabolic health and wellness has also become very personal. I completed the Ideal Protein program in the past and experienced firsthand the positive impact it could have on my health. More recently, I found myself facing some of my own metabolic challenges, including rising blood sugar levels. It was a reminder that even those of us in healthcare can face struggles with our health, and that sometimes we need a little guidance, support, and accountability ourselves. This experience reignited my passion for nutrition, metabolic health, and the Ideal Protein program. I love being able to combine my medical background with my own personal journey to help others make meaningful changes and take control of their health.

Outside of work, my greatest joy is my family. I have been married to my husband, Keith, for 10 years, and we have two wonderful children, ages seven and nine, who keep life busy and fun! We love living in Montana and taking advantage of everything the outdoors has to offer, although I will never turn down an opportunity to spend time at the ocean!

I feel incredibly fortunate to combine my passion for healthcare with something that has touched my own life so personally. I understand that making changes to your health isn't always easy, and I believe everyone deserves encouragement, support, and someone guiding them on along the way. My goal is to meet people where they are, help them feel empowered, and walk alongside them as they work toward feeling healthier, stronger, and more confident. I’m excited to be part of your journey!
