I was born in Wichita, KS, but grew up in Bismarck, ND and considers myself a North Dakota native. I stayed close to home for both my undergraduate and medical school education, graduating from the University of North Dakota in 2015, Summa Cum Laude, with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a Spanish Minor, and from UND School of Medicine in 2019 with my medical degree (MD).
I completed residency training at the University of Kansas in Wichita, KS, and graduated from residency on the day I turned 30 from the training facility where I was born.
Throughout my time in residency, I built upon my passion for Women’s health and surgery. I learned of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery certified fellowships, and realized this was the direction that would meld my passion for Women’s (and Men’s) health and wellness with my passion for surgical artistry. I was blessed to match to, and subsequently complete, a cosmetic surgery fellowship at a bustling practice in the beautiful Salt Lake City, UT.
Cosmetic surgery is naturally elective, and it is a deep privilege to be able to provide care and surgical expertise for both men and women who seek to look and feel better. As North Dakota’s only board-certified cosmetic surgeon, I am dedicated to constantly providing up-to-date surgical techniques and options for patients.
Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family and husband. We love exploring all this beautiful country has to offer by hiking, golfing, and kayaking. We consider ourselves “foodies” and enjoy trying new, local restaurants and breweries.
