She graduated from Rose Hill High School, then attended Hutchinson Community College on a basketball scholarship, while completing her prerequisite nursing courses. Kelsey attended Bethel College in North Newton, Kansas where she graduated in 2016 with her Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree.

I grew up in Wichita, KS, and feel very blessed to be able to practice in my home town where I am close to my family and friends. Growing up, I love being around people and science was always fascinating to me so it was very natural for me to lean towards healthcare. I started my professional career as a Medical Technologist and Clinical Laboratory Scientist. After ten years of performing labs and managing a laboratory, I decided to go back to school to become a Physician Assistant. This transition allowed me to be in direct patient care, to help treat, manage, and more importantly build relationships with patients. It is a true honor and privilege for me to take care of patients and what is most important to them, their families. I look forward to being part of your healthcare team!
