Liberty grew up in Luverne, Minnesota and attended the University of Minnesota for her undergraduate degree where she majored in Biology. She completed her medical training in Kansas City, Missouri at Kansas City University. Liberty is honored to be an AP/CP resident at the University of Minnesota, and thrilled to join a program with dedicated faculty and staff and truly incredible co-residents and fellows. As a long-time Minnesotan, making the move back to the beautiful Twin Cities was an easy choice. Currently, she is interested in GYN/Breast and GI pathology, but is still narrowing down her many interests. In her free time, Liberty is an avid garden enthusiast, and enjoys running, yoga, and spending time with her family.
