About Me
Growing up with close family members facing serious health challenges, I witnessed firsthand the profound impact of compassionate, skilled medical care. These experiences, though difficult, sparked a deep interest in medicine and a lasting admiration for the health care professionals who supported my loved ones. That inspiration, combined with a growing passion for patient care, led me to pursue a career as a Physician Assistant.
I’ve developed a strong dedication to the field of Urology, where I’m able to blend detailed medical knowledge with the empathy and sensitivity required to support patients through often personal and complex health concerns. This specialty allows me to build meaningful relationships with patients, address challenging medical issues and help improve quality of life, all while honoring each individual’s dignity and provide patient-centered care.
Before becoming a PA, I worked as a Licensed Nursing Assistant, where I learned the importance of clear communication and the power of a collaborative health care team. That experience shaped my belief that excellent care comes not only from clinical expertise, but also from the strength of a team working together in the best interest of the patient.
Outside of work, I like to stay busy. You might find me exploring local trails with my horses, hiking a mountain with our four dogs, taking a dip in the lake or tending to my many houseplants. I'm hoping to get back into the pottery studio soon and have recently started playing pickleball with my mom. Living in New England allows me to enjoy all of my passions in life!
Excellent care comes not only from clinical expertise, but also from the strength of a team working together in the best interest of the patient.
