About
Philosophy of care
My philosophy is grounded in providing compassionate, patient-centered, quality care to everyone who needs the Emergency Department. I listen closely to patients and their families and focus on clear communication in hopes of providing reassurance and trust during moments of vulnerability and uncertainty. No matter the situation, I aim to treat you with the same empathy and attention I would want for my own family.
Why I entered medicine
I’ve always been fascinated by the human body, especially how small interventions can completely change the course of someone’s health. From a young age I wanted to work in the Emergency Department – drawn to its fast-paced environment and unpredictable nature as well as the opportunity to provide care during the moments that matter most. Becoming a physician assistant has given me the ability to pursue this passion while directly impacting the lives of others, especially within my own community of Schuylkill County.
Community involvement
I have volunteered with Meals on Wheels and supported the Peyton Walker Foundation, performing free pediatric cardiac screenings to provide early detection and prevention of sudden cardiac death. I have participated in campus health fairs, providing education and resources to students and families. I look forward to continuing to serve my community in whatever way possible.
Personal interests
Outside of medicine, I enjoy time with family and friends – exploring new places, trying new restaurants or just having a relaxing night in. I have two English bulldogs, Stella and Murphy, who are a constant bright spot in my day!
