About Me

Hello!

I'm a PA (graduated in 2015) whose journey has taken me through various medical fields, from family practice to urgent care to occupational medicine. (With a brief, and unsuccessful, stint in hospital medicine along the way!)  I understand that working in medicine can be a real struggle, and if you've had a rocky career or even considered leaving the field, you're definitely not alone – I've been there.
My personal quest to find my right fit in medicine has evolved into a passion for uncovering and sharing the diverse clinical, non-clinical, and entrepreneurial avenues available to PAs & NPs. I believe wholeheartedly that even if you're feeling lost or unhappy in your current role, with a little creativity and exploration, every PA and NP can find a fulfilling and enjoyable career somewhere in and around medicine. I'm here to share my honest experiences and discoveries with you to, hopefully, help you find joy in your career!
