 Phoebe was born and raised in Lawrence. In 2018 they graduated from Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa where they double majored in Rhetorical and Socio-legal studies, and discovered their trans identity. Having had some negative experiences at the doctor’s office, Phoebe is particularly excited to be a part of providing better care to the transgender community in their hometown. During their free time Phoebe loves going on hikes with their dog Buddy, drinking coffee, and working on DIY projects.
