About

Philosophy of care

I strongly value supporting the best possible patient outcomes by providing care that is both compassionate and evidence-based. My goal is to make you feel supported and safe, especially during your most vulnerable moments.

Why I entered medicine

I was drawn to the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on patients’ lives. Growing up in a large family and being exposed to patient care early on sparked my initial curiosity for medicine. Throughout my training, I developed a strong interest in acute care and surgery, especially the strength and resilience of critical care patients. Becoming a physician assistant (PA) allows me to provide hands-on care, support recovery and follow patients and their families throughout their healing journey.

Community involvement

I graduated from Thomas Jefferson University, where I was a member of the cheerleading team. In my PA program I was part of the “Sunshine Committee,” helping support and encourage classmates during our demanding schedule. I also served as a campus admission ambassador, giving tours and helping prospective students feel welcome and informed.

Personal interests

I grew up training in classical ballet and still enjoy dancing in my free time. I also love crocheting and sewing. Outside of that, I like running local races and traveling to hike in different national parks.
