I chose to become a physician assistant (PA) because I love people and biological sciences, and I believe that medicine is the ultimate combination of the two. I saw the positive effects a medical team can have on a family, and I wanted to be a part of that community. I value patient education and shared decision making. I believe in meeting the patient where they are and developing goals that they can achieve. I think it is important to provide the most evidence-based medicine possible to my patients. Outside of work, I enjoy yoga, cycling, spending time with my husband and Boston Terrier, and attending church events.
