I earned my Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and went on to complete my Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies at MCPHS University in Worcester. Before becoming a Physician Assistant, I gained clinical experience working as both a Certified Nursing Assistant and Medical Assistant, which further strengthened my interest in patient care and medicine.
My passion for orthopedics began after tearing my ACL in eighth grade. My own experiences with knee injuries and surgeries gave me firsthand insight into the recovery process, which inspired me to pursue a career helping patients through similar experiences and return to the activities they love.
I am originally from North Andover, MA, and am a lifelong Massachusetts resident and Boston sports fan. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, going to concerts, trying new restaurants, and spending time with friends and family.
