I enjoy helping others in any way that I am able. I was introduced to some physician assitants (PA) in the early 90's and was impressed with their love of medicine and people. I decided that being a PA was a great way to help others in meaningful ways. I have always believed that PA stands for patient advocate above all else and have tried to live that way throughout my professional career. The best part of my work is being able to really reach out, get to really know a patient (and their families) and make an impact on someone's life in a helpful and meaningful way.
