What I'm looking for

I seek a patient-focused primary or urgent care role where I can apply procedural skills, lead teams, expand telehealth services, and grow clinically while serving diverse, multilingual populations.

I am a dedicated Physician Assistant (PA-C) with 4+ years of experience delivering patient-centered primary care and express/urgent care services. I currently practice full time and have precepted across urgent care, emergency medicine, internal medicine and family medicine settings.

I hold a Master of Physician Assistant & Clinical Medical Science and multiple state certifications, including PA-C licensure, DEA, ACLS, BLS, phlebotomy and CNA credentials. I was a National Health Service Corps scholarship recipient and completed broad clinical rotations in both hospital and clinic environments.

Clinically, I am proficient in history taking, focused physical exams, diagnostic formulation and treatment planning, and I perform a wide range of procedures including suturing, joint injections, incision and drainage, EKG interpretation, wound care and venipuncture. I am experienced with EMRs (Glenwood, Athena, Epic), billing and coding, telehealth, and have led the opening of a new clinical site and trained staff.

I communicate effectively, lead teams, and provide care in medical Spanish to serve diverse populations. I am seeking to contribute my procedural expertise, telemedicine experience, and leadership to a patient-focused practice where I can continue to grow clinically and improve outcomes.
