My goal is to help patients navigate complex medical issues and work with them to find the best solutions for their health and well-being.

Personal:
I grew up in the Rogue Valley and, after spending several years away, returned in the summer of 2025 to join Oregon ENT. I am honored to serve the Southern Oregon community through my profession as an ENT PA.
I manage a variety of ENT conditions, including hearing, balance, sinus, nose, voice, oral cavity, sleep, allergy, swallowing and head and neck masses/cancers. I have a special interest in PA education and have served as a preceptor for several PA programs. I am also an active member in educational opportunities through the Society for PAs in Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery.
Outside of work, you can find me enjoying the great outdoors through activities such as running, hiking, skiing or kayaking. I also enjoy playing soccer, trying new restaurants, reading a good book, spending time with friends and family and participating in my faith community.
