10+ Physician Assistant clients
Welcome to my profile! With over a decade of experience as a Physician Assistant, I have honed my skills across various specialties, including the field of Otolaryngology/Head & Neck Surgery (ENT) and Interventional Radiology. My journey has taken me through esteemed academic and clinical institutions like Stanford, Valley Medical Center, and Kaiser Permanente, where I've not only provided exceptional patient care but also developed educational programs. I have successfully coached several both aspiring PAs and precepted PA students who have already started their training, guiding them through the complexities of the application process and helping them secure positions in competitive programs. Whether you need assistance with shadowing and seeing a day in the life of a PA in ENT, application strategy, interview preparation, or understanding the nuances of the PA profession, I'm here to help you achieve your goals. Let's connect and craft a personalized plan for your success!
