I am from Carroll, Ohio, a small town just southeast of Columbus. I am the fourth of five kids. My parents homeschooled my siblings and I from Kindergarten through 12 th grade. After graduating from high school, I attended Ohio Dominican University in Columbus where I got my Bachelors in Exercise Science in 2022. While I had initially planned on going into nursing, I came to have a desire to have a greater impact on my patient’s plan of care. I changed majors to be able to pursue becoming a Physician’s Assistant. After graduating, I continued my education at Ohio Dominican and earned my Master’s degree in Physician Assistant Studies in 2024.

Throughout my time in college, I worked as a nurse’s aid at a local assisted living and memory care and had many amazing experiences witnessing the beauty and dignity of all human life. I have always been passionately pro-life, having attended the March for Life regularly since I was in middle school. I have also had a deep interest in Women’s health and see the importance of having an approach that is holistic and recognizes the dignity of all human life. Life is precious and I have a desire to use my studies and the truths of medicine to bring about restoration and healing that serves the immense dignity of the person.

I was blessed during my clinical year of PA school to be able to spend two months learning at FMCC. I am passionate about my Catholic faith and was drawn towards the authentically pro-life environment at FMCC. Throughout my clinical year I became aware that God is calling me to serve women, especially during pregnancy and postpartum. I am excited and grateful to join the team of providers at FMCC who I know will be great mentors and partners as I begin my career as a PA.

I enjoy running, hiking and spending time with family and friends. I especially enjoy hiking at the many beautiful National Parks, my favorite being Acadia National Park in Maine. I am excited to discover the Fort Wayne area and would love recommendations for hiking!
