"I grew up in Rockville, Maryland, a suburb of Washington, D.C, and lived there throughout my entire K-12 education. After graduating from high school, I attended Roanoke college; a small liberal arts college in the beautiful Roanoke Valley of south western Virginia. After graduating from Roanoke, I worked as a nursing assistant on an intensive care unit at Roanoke Memorial Hospital. I then moved to Winchester, Virginia, where I started in the Shenandoah University Physician Assistant program in July of 2016. I graduated from Shenandoah in December of 2018 and now live in Fairfax, Virginia."
