About

Born and raised a Minnesotan, I traveled to the East Coast for OB/Gyn residency, always knowing I'd be back in the Twin Cities. My passion for reproductive health solidified over the years, and legislative advocacy efforts have been a natural and growing extension of that work.

I hope to empower individuals in their reproductive health decisions, work toward a world of equity, and ensure appropriate healthcare access to all with education and advocacy.

My home life revolves around my two strong girlies and my supportive husband.
