I am a proud graduate of the 澳门老奇人论坛 Physician Assistant program (formerly
Jefferson College of Health Sciences), which provided an education that was nothing
short of exceptional. It has guided my practice as a physician assistant in primary
care for greater than 11 years, during which I was the first physician assistant to
work with the Carilion Family Medicine residency, served as a co-chair of the Carilion
Clinic Advanced Care Provider Advisory Council, and served in other leadership roles
with the Carilion Clinic Provider Wellness Committee and Family and Community Medicine
Executive Committee. I have also had a diverse and rewarding clinical career serving
patients in the Roanoke Valley at the Carilion Southeast, Roanoke-Salem, and Daleville
family practice clinics.
Serving as an educator of clinical medicine has been one of the most meaningful accomplishments
of my career. My goal in teaching is simple: I want my students to become better
clinicians than I am by informing the care they will provide to their patients and
guiding their leadership in the communities they will serve.
Outside of medicine, I am passionate about writing, playing, and recording music.
I still want to be a rock star when I grow up! I also enjoy time outside hiking,
biking, running, and splashing in some of the most nationally celebrated and well-known
trails, races, and bodies of water in our beautiful Roanoke Valley.
