Summary

I am a physician assistant currently working in geriatric and adult psychiatry in post-acute care and assisted living facilities. I have a holistic and person-centered approach to medicine and the patient care I provide. I currently travel for work and my schedule is flexible, and I am seeking additional employment in a role where I can assess and treat patients to promote health, physical and mental wellbeing, and longevity. I am a team player, and I am excited to learn and grow my knowledge and skills.
