I became a physician assistant (PA) because of my passion for improving the lives of others, particularly within underserved communities. Drawn to family medicine for its broad scope and emphasis on continuity of care, I value building meaningful relationships with patients and supporting them through every stage of life. My approach centers on working as a team with my patients to set and achieve goals, empowering individuals to take an active role in their health and well‑being. I strive to provide personalized care by understanding each patient’s unique story, goals, and challenges, and developing practical plans to achieve shared outcomes. I am committed to fostering open communication, education, and shared decision‑making to support long‑term health. My clinical interests include preventive care, chronic disease management, and behavioral medicine. Outside of work, you can find me spending time with family, attending hot yoga classes, and cheering on my favorite sports teams.
