Q&A

How long have you been in healthcare?
I have been working as a physician assistant since 2018, completing a cardiology fellowship at Centra Health’s Heart & Vascular Institute in Lynchburg, Virginia. I was then hired as staff and worked in general cardiology for 4 years. In 2022, I moved west and transitioned to a role specializing in advanced heart failure and pulmonary hypertension at St Alphonsus Medical Center.

What makes you excited about working in an independent clinic?
I enjoy working closely with colleagues in a team-based approach to healthcare and establishing a healthy rapport with patients. The provider-patient relationship that can develop in an independent practice excites me. 

Where are you originally from?
New Jersey

What are your hobbies and interests? What might we find you doing when you aren’t at work?
In my spare time, I love skiing (both in bounds and off-piste), hiking/backpacking, mountain biking and CrossFit. I also love walking the Greenbelt and exploring new restaurants and wineries.
