Queen Creek, AZ
“One of the deep secrets of life is that all that is really worth doing is what we do for others.”
I was born and raised in Arizona, but decided to move while pursuing my undergraduate degree. I landed in Oregon for school and remained in Portland to work. I was drawn back to Arizona to be near friends and family and am excited to be able to serve my community in my home state! I have spent the last eight years as a volunteer, CNA, and student, learning from and interacting with people from all cultures, spanning across age groups with varying degrees of abilities. I feel strongly about fostering trust in the patient-provider relationship in order to provide the best care that I can.

Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with a minor in Chemistry - Oregon State University
Board Certified Physician Assistant
Member of the American Academy of Physician Associates
Prior to my schooling, I worked as a CNA in acute care rehabilitation, a COVID unit, and long term care center for two years in Oregon. I have spent hundreds of hours volunteering in many capacities with individuals with disabilities and special needs. I have a special interest in oncology and spent some time during my clinical year of PA school focusing on this passion.
Outside of work I love spending time trying new foods, painting, doing Pilates, and playing racquetball. I also enjoy a movie night in with my boyfriend and two cats, Ned and Phoebe.
My strengths as a provider include attention to detail and thoroughness. I strive to make each patient feel heard and cared for each time they visit with me.
