My interest in orthopedics was sparked by personal experiences with sports injuries and my overall love for sports. As I learned more about the role of a Physician Assistant, I was drawn to the hands-on, patient-centered care they provide, especially in the orthopedic field where they help restore mobility and improve quality of life. Becoming an orthopedic PA allows me to combine my passion for medicine with my desire to make a difference in the lives of others, while working alongside other healthcare providers to provide high-quality care while building meaningful relationships with patients.
