Born and raised in Northwest Arkansas, Jennifer is proud to return to her roots to serve the community she calls home. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology with a minor in Interdisciplinary Studies from the Norbert O. Schedler Honors College at the University of Central Arkansas. She went on to receive a Masters of Physician Assistant Studies from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS). She is certified by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA) and is a member of the Society of Dermatology Physician Assistants (SDPA), where she has received diplomat status.

Following graduation, she and her husband relocated to Minnesota, where she spent six years practicing in dermatology at Mayo Clinic. There, she developed a strong foundation in evidence-based, patient-centered care with a guiding principle that the needs of the patient always come first. She was also an active preceptor for the local physician assistant and advance practice nursing programs. 

Jennifer is excited to bring her experience and compassionate approach to dermatology patients in NWA. 

Outside of work, Jennifer enjoys spending time with her husband and their three young boys. You can typically find them enjoying a local park, bike trail, or watching their boys play sports.
