My journey into medicine began when I was diagnosed with a rare condition at the age of 16 by a specialist at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). The years that followed my diagnosis were full of medical testing, procedures, complicated surgeries, and multiple hospital stays. I found a great interest in the medical field and worked as a surgical technician before becoming an anesthesia technician at OHSU, where my interest in using ultrasound to assist with injections began. I then earned my degree as a Physician Assistant from the OHSU School of Medicine PA Program.

Through my experiences and interactions with countless medical professionals, I knew the kind of provider I wanted to be. After graduating from OHSU in 2011, I moved to Bend and started my career as a general & trauma surgery PA. A few years later, I switched specialties and became an orthopedic surgical PA, where my knowledge of human anatomy increased quickly, and I became skilled in the performance of joint and tendon injections. However, it was my own health struggles that ultimately led me into the field of pain management, where I spent 4 years learning the subtleties of this specialty and training with the ultrasound to add even more precision to the injections I had been performing for years.

Now, after nearly 13 years as a nationally certified PA, I have founded Precision Pain Solutions and am truly excited to share my skills and insight to help you with your own journey toward less pain, and to elevate your life.
