‍Why I Love My Work
‍
‍What I enjoy most about my career as a Family Nurse Practitioner is meeting people from all backgrounds and walks of life and incorporating their individuality into their plan of healthcare. I also enjoy working alongside the team that continues to positively influence and grow direct primary care to what it has become today. I chose to start Motivity Health, DPC, because I believe patients should be able to drive their healthcare experience by offering a change from the insurance-driven healthcare model. My vision and mission is to provide transparent, personalized, simplified, and low cost healthcare experience to my community. I am passionate about helping people achieve their optimal health through this alternative healthcare model.

‍Education and Professional Experience
‍
‍My healthcare education and experience started in 2008 where I worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant in a local nursing home. I became a Licensed Practical Nurse in 2012 and then a Registered Nurse in 2015. I was given the opportunity to work in various nursing specialties including oncology, research, urgent care, neurology, and emergency medicine before becoming a Family Nurse Practitioner. I knew early on in my career I wanted to continue to advance my education within nursing which led me to the Family Nurse Practitioner program for rural and underserved communities at Regis University in Denver, CO. I graduated and became board-certified in 2021, then took a position in rural MN working in the emergency department, primary clinic, and urgent care up until the founding of my private practice, Motivity Health in 2024. Today I am serving my community and promoting DPC in the surrounding communities to help others experience patient-driven care they deserve.
