I attended SUNY Oswego for my undergraduate degree and earned a B.S. in Biology with a minor in Anthropology. During that time I studied abroad in Puerto Rico. After graduating college I worked for 2 years as a research technician in Radiation Oncology before becoming a Cardiovascular Technician in the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory at Strong Memorial Hospital. In 2005, I returned to school for my Masters Degree in Physician Assistant Studies at Lemoyne College in Syracuse, NY. I started my career as a PA working in the Emergency Department at Unity Hospital. I am currently working as a PA in the Cardiac catheterization Laboratory at Strong Memorial Hospital.

At URMC, we believe that patients should be empowered to make the right decisions regarding their personal healthcare. To do so, transparency is critical. URMC partners with Press Ganey, to survey our patients about all aspects of their care experience. We are now putting this pertinent information at your fingertips by displaying star ratings for our providers along with anonymous patient comments on our website.
