I chose to become a hospitalist PA because I thrive in fast-paced environments where I can make a real difference in patients' lives during critical moments. The variety of cases and the opportunity to collaborate closely with a multidisciplinary team keep me continuously learning. I value the chance to provide comprehensive care, manage complex medical issues and guide patients through their hospital experience, making it a rewarding and impactful role. The biggest influence in my life has always been my mom. She has overcome so many significant challenges in life while maintaining an infectiously positive attitude.
