What I'm looking for

I’m seeking full-time employment to leverage my clinical expertise and strong diagnostics skills, using a compassionate approach to contribute to effective, quality patient-oriented care within a supportive team.

I’m an NCCPA-certified Physician Assistant with over 7 years of experience in private practice, urgent care, and aesthetic settings. I’m professional, compassionate, and personable, with strong time management skills and a proven track record of quality, patient-oriented care. I work hard to independently assess and treat acute conditions while ensuring accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

I bring a strong clinical background with hands-on procedures including suturing, wound closures (sutures, staples, Dermabond), injections, venipuncture, and point-of-care ultrasound-supported decision-making. I’m trained in neuromodulator (Botox) and lip filler injections, and I manage chronic medical illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension, chronic bronchitis, obesity, and thyroid disease. I’m committed to lifelong learning, integrity, diligence, and working effectively with patients and interdisciplinary teams.
