Summary
I am a certified Physician Assistant currently practicing in Labor & Delivery, with experience in obstetric triage, inpatient care, and managing both routine and high-acuity patients. My current role has strengthened my clinical judgment, patient assessment skills, and ability to work efficiently under pressure.
I am particularly interested in transitioning into preoperative care within an ambulatory surgery setting because I enjoy the hands-on, detail-oriented nature of medicine and the opportunity to play an important role in patient safety and surgical preparation. My experience assessing patients, identifying potential complications, and coordinating care has given me a strong foundation that I believe translates well to perioperative medicine. I am excited to build on my clinical experience, develop expertise in surgical care, and become a valuable member of a collaborative surgical team.
