Full Professional Profile
Professional Experience & Philosophy
I began my medical journey studying in the USA before moving to the UK to complete a postgraduate degree in Physician Associate Studies. Over the past three years, I’ve gained valuable clinical experience across a range of healthcare settings. My approach is rooted in patient-centred care—focusing on listening, educating, and working collaboratively to create personalised, evidence-based plans. I’m committed to supporting patients in achieving long-term health, vitality, and overall wellbeing.
Education & Qualifications
I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Physician Associate Studies from the University of Surrey, completed between 2020 and 2022. Prior to this, I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Health Sciences from the University of Central Florida, where I studied from 2014 to 2017. Throughout my training, I have committed to ongoing professional development, including additional education focused on preventative and longevity medicine to enhance my clinical skills and provide evidence-based care.
Assessment & Treatment Approach
My diagnostic approach begins with a thorough patient history and physical exam to understand symptoms fully, using evidence-based tests when needed. For treatment, I prioritize the least invasive options like lifestyle changes, wellness therapies—including IV drips—and conservative treatments, progressing to medications or procedures only if necessary, always tailored to each patient’s needs.
Patient-Centered Values
I believe in collaborative care, working closely with patients as partners in their health. Through clear communication and education, I empower patients to make informed decisions and take control of their wellbeing.
