Certified Prosthetist Orthotist

Helping people return to the lives they want to live drives me every day. 

For more than 20 years, I’ve worked with patients of all ages and abilities, building strong relationships and taking a collaborative approach to help them reach their personal goals. I specialize in activity-driven prostheses that support a return to work, play, and independence. From getting dressed to running with the bulls, no goal is too small or too bold. 

My experience includes myoelectrics, microprocessors, adjustable sockets, upper and lower extremity care, and pediatric orthotics, including cranial remolding orthoses and ambulatory devices. As a mother of three, I understand how important timely, coordinated care is for families. 

Educated at St. Ambrose University and Northwestern University, I’ve proudly served the Quad Cities and Greater Iowa community throughout my career. What drew me to Limb Lab was artistry, combining creativity and clinical expertise to create devices people feel truly feel confident wearing. My goal is simple: that every person feels heard, valued, and empowered to achieve what’s possible.
