I am a Cardiopulmonary Science degree graduate from SUNY Upstate at Syracuse in 1991, followed by my Physician Assistant degree from D'Youville College in 1996. In 2002 I completed my MPAS from the University of Nebraska Medical Center.

I have a passion for patient and student education, as learning and understanding are the base for achieving human potential.

My clinical experience is rich in cardiopulmonary medicine, critical care, internal medicine, and hospitalist work. As a preceptor for local PA programs, I believe that concept learning sets the foundation for higher level learning and improved patient care.
