I am proud to be a first-generation college graduate, having earned my BS in Cell and Molecular Biology from Georgia Southern University. My journey into medicine began with dance, which I pursued for 13 years, taught me discipline, empathy, resilience, and a deep appreciation for the human body.
Before PA school, I worked as a medical assistant in high-risk OB/GYN, orthopedics, family medicine, and gastroenterology. These experiences have strengthened my clinical skills and deepened my commitment to patient care.
Outside of school, I enjoy cooking, reading, and spending quality time with my loved ones. I am also a proud dog mom to Bentley, a Shih Tzu–Maltese mix who keeps life joyful and full of energy.

What drew you to the PA profession?
My biggest inspirationcomes frommy grandfather. He had to leave school in the 1920s to support his family, sacrificing his education and opportunities so others could have more. That story has stayed with me throughout my life.Growing up in a low-income household, therewere times when wecouldn’tafford basic medical care. Those experiences shaped my desire to be on the other side of the exam table,as a provider who understands what it feels liketo gowithout.
Becoming a PAwillallow me to combine my passion for medicine with my commitment to servingtheunderserved communities. I want to be the kind of provider who listens, advocates, andtruly understandsthe people I care forbecauseI’vewalked in their shoes.
