As a Physician Assistant at Slocum Orthopedics, I am passionate about working with an exceptional team to help patients recover from hand, wrist, and sports injuries. Whether it's returning to play or resuming daily activities, being part of that healing journey is incredibly rewarding.

My journey to becoming a Physician Assistant was shaped by my own experiences as a student-athlete. After a shoulder injury prematurely ended my collegiate career, I gained a deep appreciation for the life-changing impact of compassionate, expert medical care. That experience led me to pursue a Master’s in Physician Assistant Studies from the University of Colorado. Now, I am privileged to provide that same level of care to my patients, helping them regain function and confidence as they return to their daily lives.

I began my career in General Orthopedics and Orthopedic Trauma in Nebraska before relocating to Bakersfield, CA, where I specialized in hand and upper extremity care for over 10 years before coming to Slocum. My family and I relocated to Eugene, where my spouse now coaches volleyball at the University of Oregon. Outside of work, I love spending time with my two children, attending sporting events, and exploring the outdoors.
