USF Department of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery

I'm currently working as an Assistant Professor in the University of South Florida Physician Assistant Program. On Fridays, I continue to provide care to patients that require same day (acute care) appointments for USF Family Medicine.

Having grown up in Tampa, I am deeply committed to serving our community with expertise and compassion. Inspired by my faith and family, I approach each patient interaction with care. We are privileged to care for our patients; thus my interactions should reflect this honor. Our learners will emulate the care we teach, so our methods will be amplified.
