Why I chose to pursue a career in healthcare:

Even in high school, I always knew I wanted to do something in medicine. During my time in our Healthcare Career Institute, I was able to learn and experience things first hand. I also met Physician Assistant Kevin Sanders, who worked in the Waynesboro Hospital Emergency Department. He sparked my interest in the physician assistant profession.
I attended Saint Francis University in Loretto, Penn., where I completed my education and training. After college, I joined a private practice in Chambersburg before coming to Mont Alto.

What I want my patients to know about me:

I'm from the Waynesboro area. Originally, I was thinking about moving away from the area, but my family here made me want to stay. This is where I grew up and this is where I came to see my family doctor.

What I do when I'm not seeing patients:

I also coach gymnastics when I'm not seeing my patients.
