Skye was born and grew up in eastern Iowa, and then graduated in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. After high school, she located back home to Iowa where she started her journey with medical reception in a chiropractic office. She fell in love with watching patients learn about their bodies, and obtain a sense of agency back when they didn't need to rely on pain medication anymore. She also used her natural abilities for organization, delegation, and empathy in an office setting for a busy clinic. She then located to Denver, Colorado for two years where she managed another Chiropractic office in uptown Denver, and fell in love with the outdoors, and learned even more in-depth about patient care, the healing capabilities of the human body, insurance, medical billing, and so forth. After Denver, she moved to Cleveland, Ohio, and worked for an ophthalmology clinic in a hospital setting where she aided in helping with inpatient and outpatient care as the lead office manager.
After Cleveland, she relocated to Bismarck in spring of 2019 and started working right away at Sanford Health in their Central Distribution Center of the hospital. There, she did not have direct patient care but learned an abundance of medical terminology, about hundreds of medical instruments, aided in stocking all the nursing floors, coming up with organizational planning for new areas of the hospital, restocking emergent medical carts, bins, bags, and aiding in surgical supply prep. She was at Sanford for two and a half years before taking some time off to switch gears out of the fast-paced medical field in a hospital setting to focus more on her home and family life, as well as her creative passions.
In August of 2022, she was hired as a lead Patient Service Representative for the north Bismarck location of InReach Physical therapy. She is very passionate about her job at this clinic, and she is grateful every day for her opportunity to be part of an amazing team, and to be part of an amazing journey in patients' healing and care. She loves seeing the bonds that the physical therapists, as well as herself, form with the patients that are part of the "InReach Family". The office she works for is fun, upbeat, unconventional, and most importantly, puts patient care and bonds above all else, as the team mentality here is to get to know the patients as human beings, not just a number on the schedule. She loves that as a professional team, they make it a priority to greet every patient by name when they walk through the door. She loves being able to express herself creatively each day and keep up with the busy, lively, and fun atmosphere.
She is excited to keep learning as much as she can about physical therapy, and growing in this position as much as possible!
