Growing up in Wisconsin, I learned at an early age the importance of a strong work ethic and self-discipline. This set the foundation for my education and career.

 

Driven by an interest in healthcare, I began my education at the University of Wisconsin Green Bay where I graduated Summa Cum Laude and earned my Bachelor of Science in Human Biology. My interest in nursing led me to pursue my Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree with honors from Bellin College.

 

While working in a medical-surgical unit and a gastrointestinal department as a registered nurse, I continued my education and completed my Master of Science in Nursing from Bellin College to become a Family Nurse Practitioner.

 

My experience in healthcare has taught me to provide care for patients with chronic diseases. I recognize the importance of prevention and optimal treatment. I was drawn to the functional medicine model because it focuses on optimizing health and wellness as opposed to only symptom management. Through this process, I work directly with patients to address the root cause of illness including genetics, lifestyle modification, nutrition, and physiological factors.

 

I am proud to be working with Dr. Lindgren and the healthcare professionals at Lindgren Functional Medicine. I look forward to helping my patients reach their wellness goals.
