It was not unusual for Carin to see a huge moose right outside her front door as she was growing up. She was born and raised in the majestic state of Alaska where she enjoyed camping and fishing with her family.

During that time she discovered her passion for medical assisting and has had twenty years of experience in the field ranging from urgent care, radiology, concierge medicine and aesthetics. Carin prides herself on efficiency, and her favorite part of her job is interacting with the patients and taking care of their needs.
