I am a dermatology physician assistant at Franks Dermatology. I received my bachelor’s in kinesiology from the University of Arkansas and received my master’s in physician assistant studies from UAMS. Shortly after graduation, I joined Dr. Hayden Franks. I have loved building my practice and getting to be a trusted source of care for my patients throughout their skin journey.
Making a difference in my patients' lives and working with a staff that feels like family
Seeing the vision of our expansion come to life. We now have 10 exam rooms and are able to further accommodate our patients.
Intuition. The job is more than just science. There are many more nuances to providing proper treatment.
Taking long walks in the neighborhood regularly
That it is more than just knowing the science...a lot of it is about being compassionate with your patients.
I struggled with acne and psoriasis and spent significant time at the dermatologist. I learned early on this it was a place I could help others with their skin conditions.
Staying up to date on the inclusions and exclusions in relation to insurance companies and plans.
My first job as a lifeguard has now come full circle being in dermatology. I learned about having responsibility over other people's well-being and of course, the importance of sunscreen.
