Dr. Templin was born and raised in the mountains of Whitefish, Montana, studied Geology at Middlebury College, and is a Pacific Northwest University alumna. As a member of the third graduating class of PNWU, she is excited to help guide and inspire new students as the Chief of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
For her Ob/Gyn residency, Dr. Templin trained at the University of Michigan Health West Hospital in Grand Rapids, Michigan. She balanced her hospital-based, high-acuity tertiary center training with her outpatient practice in Grand Rapids. Dr. Templin served as clinical faculty for the College of Osteopathic Medicine at Michigan State University, was an active member of the Quality Improvement Committee, and contributed to the Pre-eclampsia Outcome Improvement Task Force at Metro Health Hospital. She was elected as Co-Chief Ob/Gyn Resident during her final year in residency. As a senior resident, she was awarded first place at the ACOOG Annual conference poster presentation.
She hopes to bring her love of obstetrics and gynecology and experience to provide valuable medical education with a clinical application. As an attending, she maintains a busy and fulfilling Ob/Gyn practice in Walla Walla where she lives with her husband, a passionate internal medicine physician, and their hilarious and delightfully exhausting daughters. She loves running, biking, hiking, skiing, spending time outside, working in her yard and traveling with her family and their two dogs.
