About me:

As a Treasure Valley native (GO BRONCOS!), always knew I wanted to come back. My dream was to practice medicine and raise a family in the community that I grew up in and loved. I met my husband here and now have 4 wonderful kids!

As a family, we enjoy camping, swimming, hiking, trail riding, and simply exploring in general. I am enjoy cooking, jogging, cheering the kids on in all of their activities, and traveling. Living life to the fullest and making memories with my loved ones are paramount to my fulfillment. Through my practice, I aspire to help others feel their best so that they may enjoy this in life as well.

Why did I name the business “Granite Mountain?”

The name, Granite Mountain Surgery came to me as I was thinking about what drives me. It is named after a place that has always been so dear to my heart. A place that makes me feel very alive, inspired, cared for, strong, and most importantly, happy. Being in the mountains has a way of making one feel strong but also humble. This namesake signifies to me the stamina, drive, and rewards of surgery that improve my patients’ wellbeing.
