I was born and raised in Apple Valley, MN. Growing up, my life revolved around sports and playing basketball, football, and track. During undergrad, I attended the University of Minnesota Twin Cities where I played football and graduated with a B.A in Sports and Exercise Science. After accumulating multiple injuries related to football, chiropractic treatments helped me recover and I have been using chiropractic care as a treatment ever since. Following undergrad, I moved to Davenport, IA where I attended Palmer Chiropractic College, graduating in 2020.

I grew up in Bettendorf, Iowa which is part of the Quad Cities, ironically also the birthplace of Chiropractic. I’ve been under care since birth and being well adjusted is part of my life! I received my first adjustment from my Uncle who inspired me to take on Chiropractic as a career. Being under consistent care provided many benefits during a very active childhood that continued on as a multi sport athlete.

I eat, breathe, and live the motto we stand on at Core - Move with PURPOSE. We have three high energy little girls, Mila (9) , Shay (7) and Pippa (3). In my spare time I enjoy as much time with my girls as possible, working out, podcasts/books, golfing, cooking, and exploring new restaurants.

Growing up a gymnast, chiropractic was what kept me balanced and strong, allowing me to find what it meant to have passion. That, plus a love of biology and incredible support was a natural path toward chiropractic and nutrition. Now, as a mom of three, I know that whether it’s athletics, pregnancy, babies/ kids, and beyond, the unique possibilities chiropractic can offer are endless. I am so grateful to have found my passion and be able to use my heart and my hands to facilitate health at any age and stage of life.

Born and raised in the small town of Emo, Ontario, Canada, I grew up a competitive, multi-sport athlete, with hockey & soccer consuming most of my athletic career. After graduating high school, I pursued a Bachelor of Kinesiology at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Ontario. During my time there, I became certified though the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology and worked as a Personal Trainer until graduation. Chiropractic and personal training have proven to be a potent combination and allowed me to integrate my love for movement into patient care. I also focus on the mind-body connection in my care, helping patients understand how emotions influence movement and pain.

Anyone who knows me can tell you that I have always had a hard time sitting still. Whether its reading, learning, exercising, cooking or being outdoors, I like to keep my body & mind in motion. I’m constantly working to learn more, do more, and be more so that I can better serve my patients & the people in my life. Helping people is my passion, and through chiropractic, my passion has become my career. I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to positively impact lives each and every day
