I am a certified physician assistant interested in educating and empowering my patients to play an active role in their own health. The patient-provider relationship is my favorite part of medicine. I entered this field, ultimately, to provide a positive impact on the lives of others by caring for their needs. My goal is to increase access and quality of care for all. I want my patients to feel valued and cared for after every interaction with me as their mid-level provider.

Since childhood, I have been interested in the specialty of orthopedics. Throughout my clinical experience, I have had the opportunity to work with a variety of general orthopedic patients, in addition to orthopedic trauma patients. Within this specialty of medicine, I am particularly interested in fracture care, joint replacements, postoperative management of patients, and sports medicine.
I love surrounding myself with family and friends in my free time. I enjoy playing cards or board games, reading, resale/consignment shopping, and spending time with my two cats and dog. I also enjoy staying active by playing pickleball or hiking the dunes with my Bernedoodle.
