Bio

Hello! I am a PA-S1 at Duke University interested in pursuing a primary care-related field in medicine. I am passionate about working with underserved and marginalized populations as a future Physician Assistant. As an undergraduate, I balanced work, school, and a weekly overnight EMT shift in rural central Virginia. After college graduation, I completed an AmeriCorps year of service working with high-risk HIV/AIDS populations in the D.C. metro area. In my free time, I enjoy exercising, spending time with loved ones, and improving my Spanish!
