Why did you become a provider?
I became a physician assistant because I was fascinated with medicine at an early age, and I wanted to learn how to heal people and make them feel their best. When considering a future career, I knew I wanted to be a lifelong learner and I wanted to interact with people, but I also knew I wanted a job that allowed me to spend time with family and friends. I'm excited that, as a physician assistant, I can work as an independent provider and also have a strong interpersonal relationship with my supervising physicians and clinic staff as well as my patients while providing the best care possible.

What motivates me is the knowledge that each patient counts on me for the best quality care and advice in regards to their health or the health of their loved ones.

I am driven to learn everything possible about any medical situation by reading, researching, asking questions and observing and learning from my colleagues.
