FAMILY LIFE
I grew up on a farm. I may be off the farm but always consider myself a farm girl at heart with a love of horses. I have been married to Dennis for 30 years. We have grown children, Emily and Isaac.
In my spare time I enjoy spending time trying new recipes, home improvement projects, and am a DIY freak.
I’ve been in the nursing profession for over 35 years. During that time I have spent time in Geriatrics, on a post surgical floor for General Surgery, Urology and Women’s Services, and the last 28 of those years have been in the clinic with Urology or Urogynecology. I truly enjoy coming to work each day. I love getting to know the uniqueness of each patient and their family. I hope after our interactions they have enjoyed their visit by feeling heard, gaining information, and they feel comfortable asking us anything. It is wonderful to be part of a team who shares my beliefs that patients needs are our number one priority.

FAMILY LIFE
Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family. We have a lot of Mexican family traditions that are important and fun for us to be a part of. I am also currently enjoying the aunty life with my niece and nephew who were both born in 2023 and are only 10 months apart. I enjoy spending time with my best friends from high school, we try to get together and eat some good food. One of our favorite places to visit is Gyu-kaku, a Japanese BQQ joint. Overall, I am a home body and like spending time with those I am close with.
Since starting with Gerten Urogynecology, I have learned so much about women’s health and I hope my knowledge and skills grow even more by going back to school for my RN. Seeing the way that the Gerten team advocates for their patients and provides them knowledge for what they are experiencing is amazing. Seeing so many patients return and be happy about their progress is one of the many things I enjoy seeing while working for Gerten Urogynecology.

FAMILY LIFE
In my free time, I love attending my nieces' and nephews' various concerts and games, as well as spending time with my friends. My family is a huge ski family so this winter I will be re-joining Skijammers as a level one certified snowboarding instructor. I have also recently started training to become a ski patroller for Buck Hill, which combines my love for snowboarding with health care. Lastly, I love cooking, going for nature walks, and reading a good book.
Before joining the Gerten Team, I jumped all over the country living in Omaha, San Diego, and New Orleans before settling back in Minnesota. Since I started in August, I have been studying for the MCAT, with plans to apply to medical school this summer. Through work I have learned so much about urology and the specific issues facing those with vaginas. I am so fortunate to be working with such a passionate and empathetic group that goes above and beyond ensuring that our patients feel heard. Joining Gerten Urogynecology has sparked my interest in learning more about dyspareunia and the neural networking between the brain and bladder.
