Why did you decide to go into medicine?
I’ve always known I wanted to pursue a career in medicine, but it was during the time I shadowed my family doctor’s PA that I discovered my true calling. Watching her connect with patients—not just as a provider, but as a partner in their care—was incredibly inspiring. She empowered them to take an active role in their health decisions and built meaningful relationships that extended beyond the surface of medicine. That experience showed me exactly the kind of provider I aspired to be.
Favorite Place to Visit:
Outer Banks! My family goes every summer and it’s like our second home.
Favorite Sports Team:
Buffalo Bills!
One thing I can’t live without…
Coffee, coffee, and coffee!
