I am a Lewistown native who graduated from St. Leo’s High School in 1986. I pursued my undergraduate degree from Carroll College in 1990, and then went on to Occupational Therapy School at Colorado State University. Upon graduation from Colorado State University in 1993, I worked at Shodair Children’s Hospital in Helena, MT in pediatrics for 3 years. I then worked for an outpatient clinic in Helena for 2 years with adults, children, and skilled nursing. After that I worked for 3 years as a contract OT for an Idaho School System in conjunction with a contract with a skilled nursing facility. I then moved back to Lewistown with my husband in 2001, and began working at CMMC as an outpatient, acute care, skilled nursing rehab, and home health occupational therapist. I also contracted with the local school district. I particularly enjoy working with children and their families to assist with developmental needs. I love occupational therapy’s role in helping people overcome obstacles in order to be as independent as possible. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family in the outdoors, hiking, horseback riding, biking, gardening, skiing, and sledding.
