Summary

New graduate Physician Assistant with multiple years experience in orthopedic surgery. Proven ability to work in collaboration with surgeons to enhance patient outcomes through innovative surgical constructs with a deep understanding of orthopedic procedures and tooling. I left a successful medical device career for the opportunity to be more deeply involved in patient care and play a larger role in the procedures I had spent so many hours observing. Working with my hands and taking pride in providing patients with the most functional and aesthetic outcomes is my passion and I look forward to continue learning all I can to further refine these skills.
