I have lived in Omaha most of my life. I was first introduced to the field of orthotics and prosthetics when I met a
friend in college who had a below-knee prosthesis. He would show me his different componentry and answer my
questions about the equipment. After learning about the field, I stumbled upon the orthotics and prosthetics
department at the VA Hospital when visiting my grandfather after his surgery. I reached out to them and was able to shadow there every Friday while I finished my Bachelor’s degree at Creighton University. They couldn’t keep me away.

I earned my Master’s in Orthotics and Prosthetics from Baylor College of Medicine. Their program allowed me to
complete my residency at a variety of different clinics and to see a wide range of patients and practices, including the Limb Lab in Lincoln, Nebraska. I’m thrilled that I have the opportunity to join the team in Omaha, where my husband and I call home. I hope to change lives for the better doing something that I love.
