I provide Athletic Training services to UW-Green Bay. I found that treating each individual patient with respect and understanding is the key to building a positive, trusting relationship. Once that trust has been developed, it makes it easier to work together, as a team, to overcome the injury or illness. I work very hard to develop goals and a "return to play" plan with each individual patient so that they always know what to expect when working with me. Communication between the patient and provider is essential! I chose sports medicine/athletic training as my career because it is such a unique field of medicine. I enjoy being able to work with the injured athlete from the minute they become hurt until they are healthy and back on the field. I am happily married and just recently had my first baby girl. I spend my free time swimming, waterskiing, downhill skiing and being with my family."
