Outside of medicine, Jaelynn loves staying active and soaking up the outdoors — whether that’s going for a walk, hiking, or chasing after her golden retriever, Walter. She's a proud Nebraska native who is always up for cooking a new recipe and spending quality time with family and friends. As the wife of an Army infantry officer, she is especially passionate about supporting the military community and finding joy in every new adventure life brings!
