What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values patient-centered care and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dedicated Physician Assistant with extensive experience in family medicine, urgent care, and pain management. My journey began with a Bachelor of Arts in Human Biology and Spanish, followed by a Master’s in Physician Assistant studies. I have worked in various healthcare settings, focusing on patient-centered care and addressing the root causes of illnesses rather than just treating symptoms.

Throughout my career, I have improved women's and men's health care, managed chronic conditions, and educated patients and their families on treatment options. My commitment to continuous learning and adapting to new challenges has allowed me to acquire various medical procedures, including trigger point injections and wound care management. I thrive in collaborative environments where I can contribute to improving patient outcomes and healthcare delivery.
