Summary
Board-certified Physician Assistant with focused clinical experience in surgical subspecialties including dermatology, trauma, plastic, and hand surgery. Skilled in outpatient management, minor procedures, and cross-disciplinary care coordination. While my current role has offered valuable procedural experience, I’m seeking to transition into oncology where I can apply my procedural and chronic disease management background in a collaborative, patient-centered setting. Licensed in Colorado with active DEA, BLS, and prescriptive authority.
