She was born and raised in Downingtown, Pennsylvania, where she earned her Bachelor’s degree from The Pennsylvania State University in Biobehavioral Health. During that time, she became certified as an EMT and eventually began working as a medical assistant at a busy dermatology practice in her hometown. She has always had a love for all things dermatology-related and as an MA realized her passion for providing care to all age groups and decided to pursue a career as a PA.
