EDUCATION

  • Doctor of Physical Therapy, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee

BACKGROUND

After practicing physical therapy full time and serving Wisconsin Lutheran College as an adjunct professor for one year, I received a divine call to join the faculty in 2022. I love sharing my passion for science and the liberal arts education in a Christian atmosphere, appreciating God’s creation daily as I practice physical therapy and teach. Other areas of interest include spending time with my fiancé, Jason, as well as traveling and enjoying sports, music, and art.
