CHIROPRACTOR
Not many people know this, but my chiropractic journey started when I was in high school! I’ve always been awe-inspired by how the human body works — all of its functions and intricacies.
After seeing my dad’s health complications at an early age, and seeing him in and out of hospitals, I knew working in a natural healthcare profession would be fulfilling. I can help people like my dad function better, become healthier, and happier.
I love interacting with patients, sharing suggestions, and setting patients up for healthier lifestyles where they feel like they aren’t limited and can thrive.
MY CHIROPRACTIC GOALS
My mission is to assist every family in receiving an opportunity for optimal health. I want to educate and empower individuals to make informed decisions about their health. I want patients to thrive at their absolute best with holistic care that addresses all aspects.
My approach to patient wellness uses natural, evidence-based chiropractic care to help your body heal from within, and I work on customized care plans with patients to make sure my work meets their needs.
EDUCATION
I went to Somerset High School in Wisconsin; college at the University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire where I studied kinesiology, biology, and chemistry; and I graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa.
I chose to attend Palmer College’s doctor of chiropractic program, after much debate on schools, because of its prestigious history.
It’s the first school of chiropractic in the world, established in 1897 by Daniel David Palmer.
HONORS AND AWARDS
At Palmer College, I was honored to be recognized with the Virgil V. Strang Philosophy Award.
The award is selected by a faculty panel to recognize a graduate for his or her distinctive accomplishment and contributions to the philosophical principles of chiropractic.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Troxel Intern Program
I also began practicing and developing my chiropractic skills and patient care early.
I worked in the Troxell Intern program and enjoyed applying the technical skills learned in school to professional practice.
I moved to the beautiful island of O’ahu in Hawaii after graduating to work at a practice there.
Practicing in Hawaii
I moved to the beautiful island of O’ahu in Hawaii after graduating to work at a family practice there for more than 3 years.
We mainly focused on pregnancy, postpartum, and pediatrics. We also worked with many athletes, surfers, and military families.
While working in Hawaii, I had the privilege to travel to learn, teach, and practice chiropractic to international students, doctors, and underserved communities in areas such as Guatemala.
OUTSIDE OF THE PRACTICE
Growing up in Wisconsin and having lived in Hawaii, I love spending time outdoors and being anywhere near or on the water. I enjoyed being surrounded by nature in Hawaii, and getting to surf! Hiking and exploring different spots are also some of my favorite activities.
I also like to golf and watch sports!
And sometimes, I just can’t help myself, but reading chiropractic research is really exciting to me and I love the challenge of learning more and more so I can become a better doctor each day.
I’ve also volunteered in mission trips to help underserved patients in Guatemala, giving them chiropractic care to at-risk and high-need communities. I learned some words, phrases, and sentences in Spanish, and hope when I return for mission trips in other countries I can pick up on other languages as well.
HOW I CAN HELP YOU
I’m proud of being a provider who patients trust and rely on. At Premier Chiropractic, every plan is customized to each individual circumstance.
I’ve seen athletes, pregnant mothers, and children who also all benefit from the structural chiropractic care approach. I’ve also seen people who just want to be healthier.
As a “Structural Chiropractor,” I determine clinical steps for chiropractic treatmnt based on the patient’s structural shifts in their spine.

CHIROPRACTOR
I was first introduced to chiropractic when injuring my neck wrestling at a young age. Luckily my uncle is a chiropractor and treated me regularly following my injury. I was amazed by the relief and improvement in recovery time! I’ve always been interested in healthcare and from that time forward I set my focus on becoming a doctor of chiropractic.
MY CHIROPRACTIC GOALS
My mission is to provide understanding and inspiration towards each individual's unique health goals. Within my practice I desire to provide the highest quality chiropractic care to individuals and families in the community.
EDUCATION
In 2021 I graduated from Northwestern Health Sciences University with a doctorate of chiropractic. At the end of my program, I Interned at the Institute for Orthopedics & Chiropractic and completed a 1 year post-graduate fellowship program.
Prior to chiropractic school I attended St. Cloud State University and North Dakota State University where I received a Bachelors in Biomedical Science.
HONORS AND AWARDS
While a student I received extensive training through the Gonstead Methodology Institute of Chiropractic which focuses on neuro-structural correction. I also served as the Gonstead Club President at Northwestern from 2019-2021.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
I started practicing in Edina, MN for nearly 2 years and gained exceptional experience from that opportunity. From there, I moved to La Crescent, MN and built an amazing family practice. Looking for an opportunity to live and grow a practice in my ideal community, I decided to join Premier Chiropractic and grow our footprint of Neuro-Structural chiropractic in Hudson!
OUTSIDE OF THE PRACTICE
I was born and raised around Bismarck, ND where I enjoyed camping, fishing, and wrestling. I’ve always enjoyed being active outdoors and have become an avid skier, mountain biker, and hiker. Chiropractic care has been a major part of keeping me active and healthy through injuries and strenuous competition. I am very blessed to be in such a great profession and to be serving the Hudson, WI area!
