INTRODUCTION
I was born and raised in the Central Florida area and have always been interested in health. I was originally a pre- pharmacy major at the University of Florida when I found out about the PA profession and I instantly knew it was for me. I love working with a team of other professionals and getting to know my patients. One of the compliments I received most from my preceptors was how efficient I was in caring for my patients. I make sure I get all of the necessary information and build rapport within a timely manner. I enjoy using knowledge from my bachelor’s degree in nutrition when educating patients because I believe preventative health is imperative. My business administration minor allows me to understand what is necessary to make a clinic properly run so that providers can give the best care possible to patients.

I had a very eventful week in December 2018 where I became engaged, graduated my PA program, and welcomed a puppy into my family. My fiancé is in his second year of law school and we plan on getting married once he graduates. We want to stay in the Central Florida area so that we can raise our family (many years from now) in the same area where we met and grew up. My puppy’s name is “Tebow” and his is an English Cream Golden Retriever. He is now three months old and he is a handful! In my free time I love watching Gator sports, spending time outside, and painting. REFERENCES
