Personal Information –
I was born and raised in a small town outside of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I played multiple sports growing up and found my way to the USA when I was recruited to play softball and pitch for Delta State University in Cleveland, MS my senior year.
My husband and son are the light of my life! We spend our free time playing hard! Sports are all of our favorites. My husband Josh and I stay active with exercise which is very important to both of us and we try to stay young (but most days are reminded we aren't 18 anymore) playing in our softball league. Our weekends are usually spent watching our son, Kavan, participate in his various activities and when we are not booked with that we enjoy visiting family out of state and country and traveling around the USA to our favorite places.
My second home, Clay Platte has been a wonderful addition to my life. I love taking care of our patients and truly appreciate the opportunity to help people.
