What I'm looking for

I seek a clinical role leveraging interventional radiology and acute inpatient skills, with opportunities to mentor others and manage complex procedural care.

I am a board-certified Physician Assistant with extensive clinical experience in interventional radiology, thoracic surgery, and urgent care settings. Over two decades in health care have honed my procedural skills, acute medical management, and diagnostic fluoroscopic expertise.

At the University of Michigan Health System I independently perform and interpret fluoroscopic gastrointestinal and genitourinary procedures, provide peri-procedural medical management, and serve as a primary mentor to PA colleagues, residents, and fellows. I also carried lead PA responsibilities in thoracic surgery coordinating teams, orienting new staff, and managing complex postoperative care.

My recent contingent roles include urgent-care-style responsibilities within correctional health and primary assessments for military service members, emphasizing triage, suturing, mental health evaluations, and transfer decisions for decompensating patients. I maintain current ACLS and BCLS certifications and active board certification through the AAPA.

I am collaborative, procedure-oriented, and focused on improving patient outcomes through careful assessment, clear communication with multidisciplinary teams, and hands-on mentorship of junior clinicians.
