What do you do in your time off?

I like staying active in my free time! I enjoy kickboxing, swimming, and hanging out with friends and family.

What defines your personality?

Hard-working, compassionate, and driven.

Why did you choose a career in medicine?

My father is a retired firefighter and paramedic, so growing up he used to always spend time teaching me about the field of medicine. It really got me interested and excited to pursue my own career in the medical field.

Favorite Procedures or Surgeries You Like to Perform

Cerumen Removal!

Goals that you have either personally, professionally or both

Professionally, I want to be the best provider I can be for my patients and ensure that they feel heard and involved in their medical care. Personally, I want to try more new activities outside of my comfort zone.

Most influential mentor you've worked with

The most influential mentor I have worked with was my Emergency Medicine Preceptor during PA school. He was a great instructor and really instilled confidence in me as a Physician Assistant.
