For the past 12 years, I have been pursuing my goal of becoming a family practice doctor in rural Kansas. I had the privilege of completing medical school at the University of Kansas in Salina, Kansas. I then completed my residency training at Indiana University Ball Memorial Hospital in Muncie, Indiana. It is great to be back in Kansas and practicing full spectrum family medicine in Lakin, Kansas.

Being in southwest Kansas has been a delight as well as a challenge. I would like to be your District 7 Director to help address some of these challenges. I have worked in advocacy through the Kansas Medical Society this past year. I would like to keep advocating for our patients and for how we provide care. Working towards a better healthcare system for providers and patients is a passion I find both exciting and rewarding.
