Michelle has over 20 years of experience in health care as a RN and APRN, and 15 years of experience in Family Medicine as a Nurse Practitioner. She received her BSN, RN degree from Oral Roberts University. She practiced in the hospital as well as with an Internal Medicine/ Pediatrics physician as a RN. She went on to obtain a Master of Science in Nursing from Saint Louis University and began practicing as a Family Nurse Practitioner in 2008.

Her passion is to help each person reach their wellness goals as a whole person (mind, body, and soul). A health care provider is a partner with the patient on their journey to optimal wellness through various avenues. The traditional health care model has created difficulty for providers to spend the appropriate amount of time with each person and has created barriers to even obtaining health care in a timely manner. 

 Michelle chose to implement the DPC model into her practice because She wants to be able to take the time that is needed with each person to help them reach their wellness goals. She wants to provide care in a manner that the patient has timely access to their provider. 

 Michelle also loves to spend time with her husband and two children as they enjoy the beautiful community that we live in. They enjoy going to the lake as well as camping in the various campgrounds in the area.
