What is your practice philosophy? My philosophy is to care for the whole patient. I will listen and show compassion, so together we can achieve your healthcare goals. The patient comes first and I will always treat you as a member of my own family.
If I wasn’t a provider, I would be a: Fitness instructor. Being in the presence of others in the studio is energizing and you are a fundamental part of people’s overall well-being.
Why did you become a provider? When did you know this was the career for you? The human body is fascinating. Being a provider creates an intersection between my love for science and desire to help others. I knew being a PA was the career for me when I felt fulfillment through the patient-provider relationships I create with my patients.
One of the challenges of this career that I enjoy is (and why): The need to be a lifelong learner by practicing evidence-based medicine. This allows for an individualistic approach towards treatment to achieve optimal outcomes.
What is the best thing you’ve done for your health or the best health advice you’ve received? Daily exercise is important. The best thing I’ve done for my health is to set aside time every day to move. You never regret getting outside or going to the gym to move. Daily movement benefits both physical and mental health.
What are you most proud of? My family. They’ve been my role models and exemplify hard work. Every day they teach me something new.
