What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my surgical skills and patient management experience in a collaborative environment focused on quality care.

I am a dedicated Physician Assistant with a Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies from Missouri State University. With over six years of experience in various healthcare settings, I have honed my skills in diagnosing and managing a wide range of acute and chronic conditions. My expertise includes acting as the first assistant in the operating room for complex orthopedic surgeries and managing a panel of patients for chronic pain management.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to providing high-quality patient care. I have extensive experience in telehealth, allowing me to effectively manage remote patient panels. My proficiency in various EMR systems, including EClinical Works, Meditech, Cerner, and EPIC, enables me to streamline patient documentation and billing processes efficiently. I am passionate about continuous learning and professional development, which is reflected in my active certifications and willingness to obtain licensure in multiple states.
