She has worked her entire career in General Surgery, both inpatient and outpatient settings. She went on to obtain her Master of Physician Assistant Studies with Pace University in 2020. She realized a strong passion for education while precepting PA students during Covid leading her to the fellowship.

Why the PALLA Fellowship?
When I chose this path towards PA education, the Physician Assistant Leadership and Learning Academy was the obvious choice for a well-established, structured academic framework that would support my transition into academia. I believe PALLA will provide training that includes a unique blend of expertise in PA education, scholarship, and professional advocacy, successfully preparing me to teach the next generation of PA clinicians and leaders.
