About Us

As Owner and Program Director at ErgoWorks, I have a passion for helping Minnesota companies and their employees stay safe, healthy, and happy at work. As an Occupational Therapist, certified in ergonomics, I had worked in inpatient rehab, outpatient, home health, and acute care, until I fell in love with the blend of ergonomics and onsite injury prevention. In 2018, I developed a program to reduce the cost of work related injuries to employers, and eliminate the frustration of delayed return to work for employees.

After growing the business and expanding services to include job analysis, employee education, office and industrial ergonomic assessments, and more, I bought the business in 2023. Today, the mission of ErgoWorks is to help companies keep their employees safe, healthy, and happy at work by reducing musculoskeletal injury risk. I take great joy in working with employers and employees to create a culture of proactive injury prevention.

I enjoy time with my three teenagers, husband, family, and friends. I love reading and traveling, and my family cabin in Wisconsin is my favorite place on earth.

As a Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) who has worked in inpatient, outpatient, home care and as a teaching instructor since 2007, I enjoy helping people reach their goals. I look forward to learning new skills to help me grow in my profession.

I received my degree from Lake Superior College in Duluth, MN. Our family relocated to the Metro area in 2022. What drew me to ErgoWorks was helping the employees with injury prevention while also helping the company find new ways to decrease risk of injuries. I am certified in Post Offer employment testing. It is challenging, but also very fun and rewarding for me in my career.  

Outside of work I keep busy with family life. My husband and I have three girls who are very active with sports and friends. I usually say I’m a free Uber driver for my kids! I enjoy reading, travel, and spending time with family at the lake in the summer whenever there is a free weekend.

In my years as an occupational therapist, I’ve had the privilege of working in many interesting settings and learning diverse skill sets, ranging from clinic based injured worker assessment and treatment, to providing office and industrial ergonomics services and on-site employee care. My career adventures have even included developing a standardized functional capacity evaluation system and training courses for therapists and other healthcare professionals. Underlying all of this is a passion for empowering people to function at their highest levels and assisting employers in creating safe and productive work environments.

Outside of work, I can be found trail walking with my golden retriever, boating with my husband, and having fun with our kids, grandkids and wonderful friends. When not doing those things, there’s almost always a book in my hands.
