What I'm looking for

I’m looking to continue providing longitudinal urology and surgical care while leading quality initiatives and advancing mid-level education, in settings that value patient continuity, evidence-based practice, and measurable outcomes.

I’m a Physician Assistant specializing in urology, providing comprehensive evaluation and longitudinal care across outpatient, perioperative, and postoperative settings. I develop individualized plans of care, order and interpret diagnostics, prescribe medications, and document encounters in Epic EMR, including performing procedures such as Foley catheter placement, uroflowmetry, post-void residual measurement, bladder irrigation, and suprapubic catheter management.

I also bring strong surgical and primary care experience, serving as a first assistant across multiple specialties and coordinating inpatient care from admission through discharge. I’ve led quality initiatives such as PSA tracking, prostate cancer active surveillance, and intermittent hormone therapy programs, and I created a learning model for cystoscopy advanced practice certification—work recognized with “Physician Assistant of the Year” honors.
