Courtney was initially drawn to nursing because of her passion to care for others. She ultimately became a family nurse practitioner so she could provide the most comprehensive level of care.

She joined OSF HealthCare because of the alignment between the OSF Mission and Values with her own belief that every person deserves care for a better life.  She focuses on optimizing patients' health through individualized care, shared decision-making and fostering relationships.

Courtney grew up in the close-knit community of Galesburg where she resides with her husband, son and daughter and their black lab. She enjoys various outdoor activities, which helps her maintain a healthy lifestyle.
