I love to go to the gym, the beach, and to Disneyland! I really want to get back into playing volleyball since I played in college. I also like to go on long road trips.

I would say my personality is a good mix between focused, determined, compassionate, and friendly.

I have always been fascinated by the sciences and growing up I found that I really like to help people. I also wanted a career that I would never get bored in and since medicine is always evolving, it was the perfect fit for me!

Some of my favorite procedures to perform are removal of foreign bodies and impacted cerumen. So satisfying!

Professionally, I want to grow into a knowledgeable provider that always makes her patients feel heard. Personally, I want to travel to all 50 states and visit all of the national parks.

My most influential mentor is an orthopedic PA who introduced me to the PA profession when I was in undergrad. While shadowing him I was inspired by his thorough patient care and knowledgeable patient education. He helped me with PA school applications and I even got the chance to shadow him again as a PA student. I am very grateful for his mentorship.
