First things first… I love the medical field, and I love being a PA…! The challenge, the excitement, the uncertainty of what may come next drives me. I am a PA whose career has provided extensive experience involving trauma, emergency treatment and diagnosis, critical care, and the routine. Looking back, I came to realize that my journey started as a young child after being diagnosed with Kawasaki's Disease. Tim was my PA, and provided my primary care. He eased the fears my parents and I had during the diagnosis and assured us the treatment would work and I would be fine. He visited me in the hospital, explained all the procedures and treatment for the disease in a way that a little boy could understand. I remember feeling calmed by Tim. He seemed to know everything. It was then, as a frightened little boy, sitting in a hospital bed, I decided I wanted to be like Tim; I wanted to be a PA and pursue a career in medicine.Starting out as a firefighter and paramedic, I gained extensive experience with emergency medicine in both hazardous and benign situations. The joy of rendering critical care and aid to one in need is genuinely gratifying.Following graduation as a PA, my career path has led me through Urgent Care, Critical and ICU care and the ER. I thrive on diagnosing and prescribing treatment, helping a patient leave in better shape than when they came in; drilling down into the details to get to the appropriate diagnosis. It gives me great satisfaction sharing with the patient ways to improve their health and wellbeing as well as helping the patient’s family understand the issues and where they can help.My experience and work as a PA helped me to better understand and grasp the importance of understanding people, their feelings and their emotions, in order to provide world-class care. I have enjoyed experience and success being involved as a member of ER, Trauma and Trauma Surgical Teams, working with patients in Critical Care and ICU as well as the more routine Urgent Care.I enjoy being part of a successful medical team and look forward to each day, prepared to expect the unexpected.When I’m not involved with patient care, I am recharging at the gym, running or playing with my kids.
