I decided on my profession as a PA while serving in the Peace Corps. I wanted a career combining my interest in medicine with my passion for empowering people to meet their health goals. Being a family medicine PA allows me the privilege of partnering with people in every stage of their lives!

I decided to work for NOAH for many reasons. NOAH serves a population similar to the one I grew up in and I have always felt called to give back to this community. Additionally, I spent several months throughout my PA education at NOAH clinics witnessing the commitment and collaborative efforts of the team. I know that NOAH is a place where the team is passionate about providing high-quality healthcare to everyone in the community.

Outside of my profession, I enjoy spending time with my family, gardening, and staying active. Exercise is a big priority in my life including weightlifting, yoga, jiu-jitsu, and any activities I can do outside.

If I won the lottery, I would spend some time with my family traveling and then find ways to support or work within my community.
