I really like my Clients!!! They are the reason I show up every day. Watching their progress, no matter how small, is the highlight of my job.

I really enjoy the team atmosphere and the culture of “treating the whole person” that Northern Pines promotes. Working on a multidisciplinary team has it’s challenges, but over all it is the best form of treatment for the people we serve.

I have two teenagers who are my biggest hobby. 😉 I also have a German Shepard named Lucy who is my partner in crime, and three cats that never let me sit down. I love to bike, hike, kayak, camp, dance, listen to music, watch documentaries, spend time with my parents and brother, and visit Minneapolis whenever I get the chance!
