College of Allied Health Sciences
Department of Physician Assistant Program
I am an alumnus of the Augusta University PA program class of 2013. My prior experiences include burn surgery at JMS burn centers and Emergency medicine at three local hospitals: Piedmont Augusta, Thomson, and Doctors Hospital. During my last nine years before transitioning to this faculty position, I worked in urogynecology, specifically in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery, caring for urological issues affecting women's health. I have not had to direct clinical experience in psychiatry; however, we care for these patients daily in our professional careers.
I am passionate about educating future Physician Assistants to deliver high-quality, patient-centered care. My teaching interests include clinical medicine, emergency and urgent care, psychiatry, and professional ethics. I am particularly interested in integrating active learning strategies, case-based discussions, and simulation-based training to enhance clinical reasoning and decision-making skills. Additionally, I aim to foster interprofessional collaboration and cultural competence to prepare students for diverse healthcare environments.
