I grew up in Arvada, Colorado, surrounded by views of the Flatirons and the Rocky Mountains. Arvada’s close-knit community helped shape my strong sense of purpose and connection to others, especially through my early experiences as a lifeguard and coach. As a Colorado native, I learned the value of hard work, resilience, and helping those around me. These values guided me on my path to becoming a physician assistant.

My interest in health care was shaped by personal experiences and by my grandparents, who were a strong influence in my life. From a young age, I enjoyed science, math, and problem-solving. Becoming a physician assistant required dedication and perseverance, but it allowed me to build the skills needed to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active, traveling, and coaching. I am committed to lifelong learning, compassionate care, and always doing what is best for my patients.
