Professional Background
I am a homegrown Kansan from the Flint Hills and proud graduate of Wesley Family Medicine Residency and the University of Kansas School of Medicine. Today I practice as faculty at the University of Kansas School of Medicine - Wichita and KU Wesley Family Medicine Residency Program. I serve as the Medical Director of the Standardized Patient Center at KU Wichita and the Medical Director of LakePoint Wichita. I also serve on the Kansas Board of Adult Care Home Administrators and am a board member for Harry Hynes Memorial Hospice and Bridges Healthcare (Palliative Care).
I find myself constantly curious and love to ask why. My motto is ‘think upstream’ and my practice of medicine revolves around promoting optimum health and looking for the root causes of dysfunction - we were made to live and thrive! I enjoy partnering with patients to create and meet their own health goals.
Away from the office I enjoy spending time with my family, gardening, any excuse to be outdoors, community, music in almost any form, reading a good book, and enjoying a cup of coffee or tea.
