Mariellen Van Nieuwenhuyzen
Mariellen was raised as a California farm girl/beekeeper and part-time caregiver for her wonderful mother. Now she and her husband, Cornelius, live in South West Idaho where she works as a Family Medicine Resident physician. When not busy seeing patients, she loves any excuse to be outdoors, garden, bake, read, or write. After residency she dreams of finding a whimsical balance between practicing medicine, writing, farming, and exploring God’s beautiful creation.
