“My favorite thing about Woodlawn is the staff. They are all so kind, caring, and always smiling,” she said.
Orze holds a bachelor’s degree in biology from Ball State University's Honors College. She then attended Franklin University and graduated with a degree in physician assistant studies. In 2024, she came to work for Woodlawn in family medicine.
When choosing a specialty, family medicine is a perfect fit.

When she is not caring for patients, Orze enjoys fishing, hiking with her dogs, reading and trying new restaurants.
