Dakota Brooker, MD
MD: Medical College of Wisconsin – Green Bay
BS: University of Wisconsin – La Crosse
Dakota was born and raised in Appleton, WI. She received her undergraduate degree in biology at the University of Wisconsin La Crosse and had the privilege of running cross country and track-and-field (5K and 10K events) during her time at La Crosse. Dakota has been interested in medicine for as long as she can remember; in third grade she proudly proclaimed that when she grew up, she wanted to be a doctor and a mom. She was fascinated by science and enjoyed learning anatomy and physiology when she finally was eligible for that course in college. Dakota decided to pursue medical training at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Green Bay and was able to begin her training where she would like to eventually practice family medicine. Early in medical training, she had the opportunity to volunteer with “Girls On the Run” in De Pere and learned how impactful community connections can be for members to see their medical professionals outside of the office and involved in the community. As a family physician, Dakota wants to be involved in her community just like the family physician she trained with during medical school.
When she is not working, Dakota enjoys spending with her family, including her husband and two children, and drinking coffee. They love the farmer’s market, taking walks, playing at local parks, and swimming at the Y. She tries to find time to continue running for enjoyment and exercise and spending time outdoors or having a game night with friends and a giant charcuterie board she created.
Dakota was drawn to the Fox Valley Family Medicine Residency because of their community-based approach to teaching residents. The faculty are supportive yet encourage the appropriate amount of independence to foster learning and medical decision making. Mosaic stands out for their full-spectrum training that will prepare trainees to practice medicine anywhere they choose. Dakota plans to utilize her training in rural Wisconsin.

Nicole Cunanan, MD
MD: American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine
BS: University of Mary Hardin-Baylor
Nicole grew up in the military town of Killeen, Texas. She received her undergraduate degree in Cell Biology from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor. Inspired by her sister’s role as a Family Nurse Practitioner, Nicole started working in healthcare as a Microbiology Lab Medical Technologist. During this time, she also volunteered at a free community clinic where her interest in Family Medicine began. She loved the “behind the scenes” work she did in the lab but found herself always wanting to learn more about the patients and yearned for an opportunity to build relationships with them in person. With this, she made her first move away from home to the country of Sint Maarten to attend the American University of the Caribbean for medical school. Throughout her clinical rotations, her passion for Family Medicine grew as she found herself loving the ability to care for patients of all ages & backgrounds whilst building long-lasting meaningful relationships with them.
When not at work, Nicole enjoys spending time with her husband and two corgis, playing disc golf, watching food competition series (& then cooking to pretend she is a part of those series), and staying active outdoors and at the gym.
Nicole was initially drawn to the Fox Valley Family Medicine Residency because of the inviting and good-natured vibes of the residents and faculty, as well as the opportunities for full-scope training in a supportive learning environment while still being challenged to grow as a professional. Within the specialty, Nicole has interests in women’s health, integrative medicine, and geriatrics/palliative care.

BA: College of Saint Benedict/Saint John’s University
Olivia grew up on a dairy farm near Fond du Lac, WI. She enjoyed helping out on the farm during her childhood, but still had a deep desire to become a physician from a young age. She received her undergraduate degree in Biology at College of Saint Benedict in St. Joseph, MN. Following college, Olivia continued to pursue a career as a physician. She worked as a medical scribe in an emergency department, worked as a CNA in a nursing home, obtained a masters, and then worked as a GI technician before starting medical school. Olivia was able to fulfil her dreams of being a Badger and going to medical school while attending the University of Wisconsin. Early in medical training, she knew she wanted to eventually practice in a rural area, so she did rotations in small towns in central and northern WI as part of the Wisconsin Academy of Rural Medicine. While on rotations, she loved seeing patients from babies to older adults with a variety of medical conditions which is why she decided to choose family medicine.
Olivia was initially drawn to the Fox Valley Family Medicine Residency because of their focus on full spectrum family medicine and their ideal location being close to her family. During medical school, she did a rotation with the program and was impressed with the friendly staff, attendings, and residents. She is looking forward to continuing her medical training in such a supportive environment.
In her free time, Olivia enjoys spending time with her family, doing chores with her boyfriend on his dairy farm, baking, going for walks, reading, and watching movies.

She took that passion with her to Miami where she advocated for many patients and helped them obtain affordable or cost-free healthcare. During her family medicine rotation, Theresa enjoyed caring for patients of all ages and building lasting relationships with them. She was drawn to family medicine because it allowed her the rare opportunity and privilege to make meaningful changes in people’s lives through continuity of care. Family medicine also allowed her to delve into all her passions which include women’s health, obstetrics, rural medicine, underserved medicine, and outpatient procedures.
When Theresa is not working, she enjoys spending time with her husband boating, fishing, gardening, hiking, scuba diving, painting, and renovating their 100-year-old home. She loves time with family and friends, and volunteers at her church whenever possible.
Theresa was drawn to the Fox Valley Family Medicine Residency because of its fantastic reputation, full-scope family medicine training, and robust obstetric experience.

MPH: University of Washington
BS: Saint Louis University
Simon grew up in Mequon, WI. He received a Bachelor’s degree in Public Health from Saint Louis University, after which he decided to gain experience working in the field of public health. He worked as an epidemiologist for the Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation in Seattle, Washington, using biostatistical models to estimate the global health burden of cardiovascular diseases including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and valvular heart diseases. During this time he received a Master’s in Public Health from the University of Washington.
He changed paths and completed a medical degree at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. During his time as a medical student, he fell in love with patient care. He felt particularly at home on his family medicine rotations, where he encountered a huge variety of patient demographics and clinical problems. He came to appreciate how invaluable a broad-spectrum, family medicine-trained physician can be for his patients and his community.
He chose the Fox Valley Family Medicine Residency program for its broad spectrum, community-based curriculum, and felt it offered the best training for him to practice as a family medicine physician in any setting.
Simon loves his musical instruments which includes a banjo, a keyboard, two guitars, and a ukulele. He also loves overly-complicated board games, science fiction and fantasy books, and spending time up north with his partner Hayley and his dog Lesti.
