I chose to become a physician assistant due to a life-long interest in the healthcare field. I want to serve as a physician assistant to give back to my community that has given so much to me. I believe that patients should be well-informed of all aspects of their conditions, treatment options and their health. Patients should be involved in decision-making to the best of their ability. My clinical interests include: contraception, education, prenatal care and women's health education. Outside of work, I like to spend time with my family, read, golf and paint.
