My journey into orthopedics began with a deep-rooted fascination for musculoskeletal health, sparked by my years of experience as a physical therapy aide and helping patients recover from spinal surgeries. This led me to specialize in spine, joint health, and sports medicine. I earned my Bachelor’s in Public Health Sciences from UC Irvine and my Master’s in Physician Assistant Studies from Western University of Health Sciences. As a practicing PA, I’m dedicated to empowering patients through education and open communication, helping them regain mobility, prevent injury, and achieve long-term health and wellness through open communication and strong patient-practitioner relationships.
