I’m a sports medicine doctor at TRIA Orthopedics who helps patients recover from injuries in order to return safely to sports and other activities they enjoy. I also serve as medical co-director of TRIA Women’s Sports Medicine, a collaborative initiative involving multiple clinical specialties. As an athlete myself – in canoeing, swimming and cross-country – I am deeply drawn to sports medicine. I’ve had the honor of serving as the lead physician for the U.S. Cross-Country Ski Team in international competition, and I’ve also been a medical volunteer for local events such as the Twin Cities Marathon. Always looking to improve the state of medical knowledge, I’ve published research on knee pain and hip strength for female athletes at the collegiate level.
