I am a board-certified Physician Associate (PA-C) with a B.S. in Biology with Honors and a Master of Medical Science in Physician Assistant Studies. I have several years of experience practicing medicine, primarily in acute inpatient pediatrics, with extensive experience in gastroenterology, intestinal failure, liver disease and transplantation. My clinical practice has also included general pediatrics, nephrology, cardiology, pulmonology, and epilepsy. This broad clinical background allows me to teach anatomy and physiology, biology, pathophysiology, pharmacology, medical terminology, PA school coursework, and PANCE preparation by connecting foundational concepts to real clinical scenarios.

Teaching and mentorship are important parts of my career. I have taught pre-PA undergraduate students through lectures and hands-on clinical skills workshops, including suturing instruction. I have also given educational presentations to PA students, mentored pre-PA students through clinical shadowing, and currently help teach and precept postgraduate Advanced Practice Provider fellows in the hospital setting. My teaching experience ranges from one-on-one mentorship to small-group instruction and formal presentations for undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate learners.

My approach to tutoring is centered on understanding rather than memorization. Medicine can feel overwhelming when students are presented with hundreds of isolated facts, so I help learners understand the “why” behind a concept and build connections between physiology, pathophysiology, symptoms, diagnostics, and treatment. I adapt my teaching style to each student and use clinical examples, diagrams, practice questions, active recall, and step-by-step explanations to identify knowledge gaps and strengthen clinical reasoning. My goal is to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and developing the confidence to work through difficult material independently.

Approved Subjects

Anatomy

Anatomy

As a board-certified Physician Associate with a B.S. in Biology with Honors, I have an extensive academic and clinical foundation in human anatomy that I apply every day in medical practice. I help students understand anatomical structures, their relationships, and their functions while connecting anatomy to physiology, disease processes, physical examination findings, and real clinical scenarios. Rather than relying solely on memorization, I use visual learning, diagrams, spatial relationships, mnemonics, and clinical examples to make complex anatomy easier to understand and retain. I can support high school, undergraduate, and health-professions students, including PA and nursing students studying anatomy or preparing for practical and written examinations.
Career Development

Career Development

As a board-certified Physician Associate and experienced mentor, I help students and early-career professionals navigate the path toward a career in healthcare, particularly the PA profession. I have mentored pre-PA students through clinical shadowing, career exploration, PA school preparation, and the transition from undergraduate education to professional training. I can help students identify meaningful clinical and educational experiences, strengthen their professional goals, prepare for applications and interviews, and better understand the realities and opportunities of a career as a PA. My approach is individualized and practical, helping each student create a realistic plan that builds on their strengths, interests, and long-term goals.
Interview Prep

Interview Prep

As a board-certified Physician Associate and pre-PA mentor, I help aspiring PA and healthcare students prepare for admissions interviews with confidence and authenticity. I provide practice with traditional, behavioral, ethical, and scenario-based questions while helping students clearly communicate their experiences, motivation for becoming a PA, and understanding of the profession. My approach includes realistic mock interviews followed by individualized feedback on response structure, content, communication, and areas for improvement. Rather than teaching scripted answers, I help students develop thoughtful responses that sound natural, demonstrate self-awareness, and allow their personality and strengths to come through.
Personal Statements

Personal Statements

As a board-certified Physician Associate and experienced pre-PA mentor, I understand what makes a healthcare application personal statement both compelling and authentic. I have helped aspiring PA students strengthen their writing by identifying the experiences that best demonstrate their motivation for medicine, clinical growth, resilience, and readiness for PA school. My approach focuses on preserving each applicant’s individual voice while improving organization, clarity, storytelling, and impact. Rather than simply editing grammar, I help students develop a cohesive narrative that shows admissions committees who they are, why they want to become a PA, and what they will bring to the profession.
Pharmacology

Pharmacology

As a board-certified Physician Associate, I use pharmacology daily in clinical practice to safely select, dose, monitor, and adjust medications for medically complex patients. My training and clinical experience allow me to teach pharmacology by connecting drug classes and mechanisms of action to physiology, indications, adverse effects, contraindications, interactions, and clinical decision-making. I help students move beyond memorizing long medication lists by focusing on patterns and understanding why a medication works and when it is used. I can support students studying pharmacology at the undergraduate, PA, nursing, and other health-professions levels, as well as those preparing for clinical exams.
Physiology

Physiology

As a board-certified Physician Associate with a B.S. in Biology with Honors, I have an extensive academic and clinical foundation in human physiology and apply these concepts daily while caring for medically complex patients. I help students understand how body systems function and, more importantly, how concepts such as cardiovascular, renal, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and endocrine physiology connect to one another. My teaching approach focuses on understanding the “why” behind physiological processes rather than relying on memorization, using diagrams, clinical examples, practice questions, and step-by-step explanations to make difficult concepts easier to visualize and retain. I can support students at the high school, undergraduate, and health-professions level, including PA and nursing students preparing for coursework and exams.
