Introduction:

I am a licensed, certified Physician Assistant looking to add excellent patient care and professionalism to your exceptional medical team. I possess qualities and experiences that will be a great addition to your group. My past opportunities as a Physician Assistant student have given me vast experiences in many areas of medicine, including primary care, pediatrics, emergency medicine, behavioral medicine, and dermatology. I have spent extra elective time practicing in pediatrics and primary care to strengthen my abilities. These have allowed me to work with diverse patient populations, including a large portion of pediatric and geriatric patients. These situations have allowed me to develop and advance my skills that have helped me succeed as a Physician Assistant. I am a focused, experienced, hard-working individual that has a passion for helping the members of my community. I would appreciate being considered as a member of your team and I look forward to meeting you in person.
