I am a Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach and a Master Certified Health Education Specialist. My professional roles include working as an Employee Well-being Specialist and Instructor of Family Medicine within Mayo Clinic, as well as managing a private coaching and consulting business. Involvement in community work aligns with both my personal and professional values and includes serving as a board member of two non-profit organizations and volunteering with my certified therapy dog. My composite academic and career experiences are patient-centered and align around the examination of contributors to individual and community quality of life. Training and practice have further sharpened my skills of observation and inquiry as a health care delivery professional; I recognize the need for improved communication and more appropriate treatment planning between patients and providers in health- and well-care. In my free time, you will likely find me hanging out with my family and friends, reading a book, taking a nap, or exploring nature.
