What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to grow in a supportive environment, focusing on patient care and collaboration with a dedicated team.

I am a dedicated Physician Assistant with extensive training in providing professional and compassionate evidence-based medicine in both inpatient and outpatient settings. My experience includes treating patients in high-stress environments, particularly in acute medical and traumatic emergencies. I am skilled in performing bedside procedures independently, such as suturing, splinting, and wound care, ensuring that I deliver the highest standard of care to my patients.

Currently, I work at Intermountain Health in the Epilepsy Neurology department, where I assist in the admission and rounding of patients in the epilepsy monitoring unit. My role involves conducting neurological exams and managing epilepsy treatments, including medication adjustments and device monitoring. I thrive in collaborative environments and am motivated to continually grow my knowledge and skills as a healthcare provider.
