I believe that through compassionate whole-person healthcare, every treatment plan can be created to fit the specific needs and vision of each patient.

I believe that through compassionate whole-person healthcare, every treatment plan can be created to fit the specific needs and vision of each patient. This is because all patients are unique and deserve tailored care. The question isn't if they will get better but rather when they will get better. I graduated from ASU in 2016 with 2 Bachelor's in Science and later got my Master's in 2017 in the Science of Healthcare Delivery. Following that, I graduated from Northern Arizona University with an additional Masters in Physician Assistant studies in August of 2020 and later became a Certified Physician Assistant.
