What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration, continuous learning, and patient-centered care.

As a dedicated and detail-oriented Physician Assistant with over seven years of experience, I have honed my skills in various clinical settings, including internal medicine and urgent care. My journey has equipped me with the ability to provide exceptional patient care, diagnose and treat medical conditions, and collaborate effectively within multidisciplinary teams. I am currently licensed to practice in New York and am in the process of obtaining my Florida license.

At Northwell Health, I have been instrumental in delivering episodic care across multiple departments, including emergency and oncology. My role involves evaluating patients, developing treatment plans, and performing essential procedures. I take pride in my ability to educate patients and their families about preventive care and treatment options, ensuring they feel supported throughout their healthcare journey. Additionally, I have a passion for mentoring new Physician Assistants, helping them integrate smoothly into our team.
