Newark, DE I am a physician assistant at Newark Urgent Care in Newark, DE. I graduated from Monmouth University with a degree in Biology and then completed Arcadia University's Physician Assistant Program in 2021. I truly believe healthcare is a human right; all people deserve exceptional healthcare services and to feel safe while receiving that care. My goal is to make all my patients feel welcome, accepted, and cared for no matter what medical complaint they present with, how they identify themselves, or what they've been through in the past. During my time at Arcadia University's Physician Assistant program, I was one of the founders of the program's Diversity Committee. The main goal of the committee was to improve/build on the education provided by the university on topics of race, gender identity, and sexual orientation and the ways in which those things influence health and the relationship individuals have with healthcare providers. My clinic is located near a large university campus and has a very diverse patient population. The clinic has recently started a relationship with our local Planned Parenthood chapter that includes ongoing LGBTQ+ education, trauma-informed care lectures, and cultural competency training seminars for staff that I have been given the opportunity to be lead contact on. Most recently, since meeting with Planned Parenthood and discussing the gaps in healthcare for many who do not identify as white, cis-gender individuals, I began the process of returning to school to obtain a post-graduate certificate/degree in healthcare equality and LGBTQ+ health.
