Dedicated Physician Associate focused on collaborative, evidence-based care.
What I'm looking for
I am a licensed Physician Associate with extensive experience in various medical fields, including psychiatry, orthopedics, and allergy & immunology. My journey began with a strong academic foundation, earning my AAS in Physician Assistant studies from Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, where I was honored with a full tuition scholarship. My commitment to education continued as I served as a faculty member in the PA program, where I contributed to curriculum development and student mentorship.
In my clinical roles, I have held positions such as Chief Clinical Officer at A Ray of Hope Medical, where I managed patient consultations and spearheaded the creation of innovative programs like Spravato. My experience also includes working in orthopedics, gastroenterology, and radiology, where I honed my skills in patient assessment and collaborative care. I am passionate about patient education and nutritional wellness, striving to provide comprehensive care that addresses both physical and mental health needs.
