I believe each patient is an essential member of their own care team. My role is to listen, understand their needs, and advocate for their personal care goals. I work closely with other healthcare providers in our community to ensure seamless, continuous care that supports every patient in living a healthy and fulfilling life. I value and respect each person’s unique wishes and encourage their active participation in decision-making. In the perioperative setting, I collaborate with the surgical team to provide the most up-to-date, evidence-based treatments available. I chose to become a PA to make a meaningful, positive impact on the lives of others — and I bring that commitment to every patient I serve.
