Summary

Motivated PA student at Duke University with several years of prior healthcare and clinical research experience before PA school. I value building strong relationships with patients, helping people feel heard, and providing thoughtful, evidence-based care. My training has included primary care, inpatient medicine, emergency medicine, women’s health, pediatrics, and specialty care, and I am currently completing clinical rotations with increasing autonomy in patient evaluation, management, and documentation. I am seeking a PA position in the Durham/Chapel Hill area where I can continue to grow clinically, contribute to a strong team, and provide compassionate patient-centered care.
