I chose to become a physician assistant due to my passion for science and medicine. I wanted to make a long-lasting impact in patients’ lives. I gained a specific interest in endocrinology after treating patients with diabetes at a rural healthcare clinic in a small town in West Virginia for two years. I have since worked as an endocrinology physician assistant since 2017. My goal is to provide comprehensive, evidence-based care, as well as focusing on disease prevention through education and lifestyle management. In my free time, I volunteer with animal rescues. I enjoy the outdoors and spending time with my husband and our dogs.
