What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to provide compassionate patient care while fostering a collaborative team environment.

I am a dedicated Critical Care Physician Assistant with extensive experience in providing high-quality, evidence-based patient care in both emergency and critical care settings. Currently, I work at St. Luke’s University Health Network, where I develop and implement comprehensive care for critically ill patients in trauma and medical ICUs. My role involves performing advanced therapeutic procedures and leading rapid response teams, ensuring optimal patient outcomes through collaboration with attending physicians.

Throughout my career, I have been committed to education and mentorship, serving as an adjunct faculty member for PA students and precepting new practitioners. I have received several accolades, including the St. Luke’s University Health Network Trauma Hero Advanced Practitioner Award, which reflects my dedication to excellence in patient care. I am passionate about continuous learning and actively participate in performance improvement initiatives and educational projects to enhance the skills of my colleagues.
