About Me
I am a physician assistant with the Department of Orthopaedics at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. My role includes assisting surgeons during reconstructive procedures such as knee and hip replacements. Our patients can expect a collaborative approach to their care, and I’m proud to be part of such an excellent team.
I chose a career in medicine because of the chance to positively impact others' lives. I enjoy building relationships with patients to provide personalized care that best fits their needs. My patients can expect empathy and compassion in every visit and can rely on me for support throughout their recovery journeys.
