“I believe good healthcare begins with listening. I want my patients to feel heard, understood, and cared for—not just treated for a diagnosis. It is a privilege to care for people through all stages of life, and I hope to build lasting relationships with my patients based on trust, compassion, and genuine connection.”
EDUCATION AND TRAINING
Master’s of Physician Assistant Studies — Mercyhurst University in Erie, Pennsylvania
ABOUT ME
Since I can remember, I have always known that I wanted to pursue a career in healthcare. My passion for medicine became even more personal when my sister was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis in 2007. From a young age, I attended her doctors’ appointments and hospital stays, which gave me a firsthand look into the world of healthcare and the important role providers play in the lives of their patients and families. Those experiences sparked my desire to learn more, care for others, and eventually become a provider myself. As I begin this next chapter, I am eager to continue learning and growing as a provider. I want to give each patient the same compassion, time, and genuine care that I have always valued in my own family’s healthcare experiences. My goal is to always give my best, advocate for my patients, and be the provider my patients can feel comfortable turning to throughout their healthcare journey.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Before becoming a Physician Assistant, I had the opportunity to work in a variety of healthcare settings such as nursing homes, hospitals, and home healthcare as a Patient Care Technician over the span of 6 years.
FAVORITE ACTIVITY OUTSIDE OF WORK
I enjoy going to the gym, hiking, playing tennis, and traveling with my husband. On my day off, you may also spot me at a local coffee shop!
WHAT WILL MAKE YOU A GREAT PROVIDER?
I want my patients to feel comfortable and heard. My personal and professional experiences in healthcare have taught me that being a good provider is about more than just knowing the medicine. It is about listening, building trust, communicating openly, and treating every patient with compassion and respect.
