ABOUT ME
Prior to becoming a Physician Assistant, I worked as a case manager in an acute care hospital in Albuquerque and the VA Hospital in Tucson. I graduated PA school in summer 2024 and spent some time in critical care. I have since made the transition to primary care. I am honored to continue being of service in the medical field.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Prior to becoming a PA-C, I worked as a social work Case Manager for approximately 10 years. Since graduating PA school in 2024, I worked in critical care medicine prior to transitioning to primary care. I love to teach and would like to precept students and new providers in the future.
FAVORITE ACTIVITY OUTSIDE OF WORK
I enjoy swimming, hiking, taking walks, reading, watching true crime documentaries, cooking, puzzles, spending time with my cat, family and friends
