I earned my credentials through the University of Washington MEDEX PA program, where I received rigorous training. My background in rural medicine began at Camai Community Health Center, where I worked as a medical assistant for five years before becoming a Physician Assistant. My professional journey as a PA commenced with a fulfilling two-year role in primary care at the Alaska Native Medical Center, where I refined my skills and deepened my commitment to patient care. With four years of experience as a certified physician assistant, I am dedicated to providing compassionate and comprehensive care. Driven by a strong connection to my roots, I returned to my hometown to continue serving the community at Camai Community Health Center, a place central to both my professional and personal life. My goal in every clinic visit is to offer exceptional healthcare through collaborative decision-making, while nurturing a supportive and empathetic environment for every patient.
