“I cannot do all the good that the world needs. But the world needs all the good that I can do.”

About Me

I’m an Arizona native and first-generation college student, who is deeply passionate about people, plants, and animals! I worked as a medical scribe and emergency department technician, with the goal of later becoming a primary care provider who truly listens to and motivates patients. I am passionate about my background in exercise and nutrition, which readily translates into my practice, and I am eager to build connections with my patients and colleagues at Optima Medical!

Education and Training

Master of Physician Assistant Studies - Northern Arizona University
Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science - Northern Arizona University
Minor in Psychological Sciences - Northern Arizona University

Professional Certifications

Board Certified PA-C

Professional Experience

I have 3 years of experience as a Medical Scribe and Emergency Department Technician in Flagstaff, which I gained prior to PA school and later completed my master's degree and core clinical rotations with an elective rotation in Endocrinology.

Favorite activity outside of work

I love to unwind by spending time with family, cooking, reading, taking care of my houseplants, hiking and playing with my 2 dogs, Colby Jack and Steve.

What will make you a great provider?

My listening and organizational skills, as well as my calm demeanor, all enable meaningful patient experiences in a welcoming and professional environment.
