YOUR HOLISTIC HEALTH JOURNEY STARTS HERE

and a deep-seated passion for making a meaningful impact in people’s lives. My adventure began with a Master’s degree in Nursing Education, driven by my desire to understand the intricacies of learning and motivation. I absolutely love teaching, and this degree equipped me to be the best at educating and empowering my patients. I’ve had the pleasure of teaching in academic settings and guiding nursing teams in corporate America, but my heart longed for the direct patient care that makes a real difference.

To fulfill this calling, I pursued a second Master’s degree as a Family Nurse Practitioner, enabling me to care for patients of all ages.

As a Functional Medicine Nurse Practitioner, I have the privilege of dedicating quality time to my patients, exploring their personal histories to uncover the root causes of chronic diseases. Functional Medicine aims to restore health by addressing the underlying causes of illness. By considering factors such as genetics, lifestyle, environment, and emotional well-being, we can create personalized treatment plans that promote true healing.

I believe health is a journey, and at Wasatch Functional Medicine, we support our patients every step of the way, helping them achieve their unique health goals. This is what true healthcare looks like, and I am honored to be a part of it.

With over 10 years of experience as a Registered Nurse, I am comfortable treating patients from many different walks of life. My past experience includes reproductive endocrinology (infertility and 3rd party reproduction), pregnancy, postpartum, newborn care, pediatrics, post-surgical care, and geriatrics.

I continued my education by obtaining a Master’s degree in Nursing Education in 2019, due to my love for teaching and helping patients understand different aspects of their health.

Following the completion of this degree, I returned to Weber State University, where I completed the Doctor of Nursing Practice/Family Nurse Practitioner program in 2022. I am a nationally certified Family Nurse Practitioner through the ANCC.

I have a passion for prevention, women’s health, infertility awareness, and mental health awareness. My Doctoral project focused on the implementation of screening tools in the school setting to combat the rising rates of adolescent anxiety and depression.

When I am not in the office, I love to spend time with my husband and children. We enjoy going to our family cabin, boating, and all things Disney, including visits to the happiest place on earth!

I believe that every person is unique and has a perspective of what is most important for his or her health. I am a firm believer that the patient-provider experience is a partnership, and I look forward to connecting with each patient as we work together to create a personalized healthcare plan.

Now, I’m grateful to be part of the team at Wasatch Functional Medicine, where I can stay closer to home and continue doing what I love—helping others.

Being a Medical Assistant is more than just a job for me. I’ve always had a deep passion for caring for people, building relationships with patients, and making a positive difference in their lives. I feel truly fulfilled working in healthcare, and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.

At Wasatch Functional Medicine, I serve as the Clinical Coordinator. I bring over four years of experience as a phlebotomist, combining my love for hands-on healthcare with a passion for the behind-the-scenes work that helps clinics run smoothly.

I’m a firm believer in functional medicine—investing in your body, uncovering the root cause of health issues, and taking an integrative approach to healing.

When I’m not working or studying, you’ll find me reading, playing with my dog, going to concerts, listening to country music, watching reality TV, and spending time with friends and family.

habits. I have perfected, well, zero, of those habits. However, awareness has helped shape the person and teacher I am today. I am still learning and growing from every minute spent on and off the mat. I hope to help others become more in tune with their own bodies, and create happiness within.
