I didn’t envision myself having a career in healthcare, but interning with Amputee Blade Runners and volunteering in Ecuador with Range of Motion Project made me excited to pursue a path in prosthetics and orthotics.

With a mechanical engineering degree from Iowa State University, I was looking for the best profession to apply my problem-solving skills, and it wasn’t until interning with a prosthetist that I discovered the possibility of working with technology and people. I continued my education at University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas to receive my Master’s of Prosthetics and Orthotics. I enjoy everything about the profession, whether that’s seeing how my efforts give someone their mobility back or building new and lasting relationships with my patients.

I first discovered the O & P field during the sophomore year of my undergraduate studies at the University of North Dakota. While I was on the path to becoming a physical therapist my sister told me that one of her friends just got accepted into the Master’s for O & P and told me to check it out. I then spent a couple of days shadowing and fell in love with the field. Since then, I completed my undergraduate studies and started at Century College for O & P.

The field of O & P is so unique which makes every day at work fun and exciting. Every client has different needs on their road to recovery. I love being able to see how our devices help improve our client’s well-being. Together we can work to meet other’s needs and reach goals they want to accomplish.

At Limb Lab we strive to give the patient back their mobility and functionality. I can achieve this by working with my hands in order to make a prosthesis that improves a client’s life. Working with my hands has been a big part of my life over the last fifteen years while helping my father with his race cars and now working on my own race car. I look forward to my future with Limb Lab and feel humbled to be involved in such an impactful field.
