About Me
I am a highly motivated, compassionate physician assistant with a doctorate in health science with a concentration in global health. I have had an exciting twenty year career in emergency medicine and urgent care. I am honored to be the founding director of the physician assistant program at Widener University where I can foster my passion for service learning, and community engagement. I have engaged in medical missions trips to Guatemala, Haiti, and Nicaragua to immerse myself in the health care needs of these countries. I am a distinguished member of the American Academy of Physician Assistants and Distinguished Alumni of the Drexel University Physician Assistant program.
