I am a board-certified Physician Assistant in psychiatry working in Charleston, SC within the Trident Health System. I graduated from Medical University of South Carolina in August 2024. I have lived in South Carolina for almost 8 years, but I am originally from Florida. Through prior healthcare experience in family medicine as a clinical assistant and emergency medicine as an EMT, I developed my passion for helping patients in the medical setting. I have always been drawn to the mental health field. I find it interesting to learn about the way we think, feel, and cope with life’s stressors and traumas. I enjoy the aspect of closely listening to patients and unpacking their stories. It is so rewarding to be able to work as a team to guide patients to better lives, facilitating their return to the things that make them happy and fulfilled. I’m passionate about improving mental well-being and promoting healthy lifestyle habits that enable us to accomplish our goals in life. I’m looking forward to empowering patients on their journey to recovery!
Prior to becoming a PA, I developed my healthcare experience working as an EMT for Prisma Health and Vital Care EMS in Greenville, SC. I also worked as a clinical assistant for Joseph F. Sullivan Center, a family medicine and women’s health clinic within the Clemson University campus. During this time I became familiar with a variety of healthcare settings and developed my patient care skills.
