About

My journey in medicine started when I was a volunteer and discovered a newfound interest in the emergency department. I proceeded to get certified as a CNA and PCT and started working as an ED tech at my local hospital. My work as an ED tech granted me the experience required to attend PA school. I graduated with my masters degree in Physician Assistant studies from Marist College in June 2021. Shortly after graduating, I started working in the ED at Clara Maass Medical Center. I have met such great people along my journey and have learned so much about myself and in medicine. Between my hard work, dedication, and commitment, I know my journey is only beginning and I cannot wait to see what further opportunities come my way.
