I started life in the Napa Valley, California, growing up with my mom and dad in their very busy pharmacy, and later when they bought and managed a local nursing home. My mom introduced me to nutiritional medicine and my father to science. I married my high school sweatheart shortly after graduating high school in 1986 and we moved to Minnesota in 1994. It was then I began my official nursing journey. I earned my nursing degree in 1996 and later completed my Family Nurse Practitioner degree in 2018. Today, I am a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner in MN and FL, and Certified Functional Medicine provider with over 30 years of experience, including more than a decade at Mayo Clinic.

I founded WellPathNP to offer a different approach to care—one that focuses on root-cause, integrative, and functional medicine rather than symptom management alone. Through personalized, evidence-based care and secure telehealth, I partner with patients to address complex health concerns and support long-term wellness.

Outside of medicine, I am a wife of over 40 years, a mother of three sons, and a proud grandmother to two granddaughters. I enjoy reading, gardening and canning, hiking and camping, time by the ocean, and playing with my three dogs. These experiences shape my belief that health is deeply connected to lifestyle, balance, and environment.

I look forward to walking alongside you on your path to better health.
