A native New Yorker and former actor/stand-up comedian, I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Drama from Vassar College. After 10 years braving the stages of off-off Broadway and many dimly lit night clubs, I switched gears to medicine as a second career in my fourth decade. I am now an inpatient pediatric physician assistant at the Komansky Children’s Hospital. I have had several narratives published in the Journal for the American Academy of Physician Assistants.
