I am a physician assistant student in the Class of 2022 at Bryant University. I am from Cape Cod, MA where I worked for Cape Cod Healthcare in a variety of positions before beginning PA school. My first clinical experience was as a CNA at a skilled nursing facility in Hadley, MA while I completed my undergraduate degree at UMass Amherst. I graduated in 2017 with a bachelor's degree in kinesiology and went on to work as a CNA in the float pool and an exercise physiologist in cardiac rehab at Cape Cod Hospital. There, I had the opportunity to do further work as a medical scribe in the emergency department and as an urgent care technician in several outpatient clinics across the Cape. Working in the emergency department solidified my goal to become a physician assistant and inspired my pursuit of a challenging career in medicine. Outside of medicine I love to do yoga, pilates, golf, garden, read and spend time with family on the Cape.
