As a PA with 24 years experience, I'm all about helping patients and families navigate tough healthcare journeys with compassion, clarity, and control. Normalizing death, championing patient advocacy, and bringing palliative care to the ED.
Let’s talk.
Let’s talk.
Spoke at the RWJBH Acute & Critical Care APP Symposium on “Critical Conversations.”
We talked SPIKES, emotional weight, and the reality: some days just suck.
Yesterday’s reset = chicken sandwich + mindless 📺.
Find what works.
Protect your peace. 💜
Whatever works for you — do that.

President, Ryan, met Libby, Ed, and Rebekah at #AAPA2025! Libby & Ed were early pioneers in the 90s that started advocacy for PAs to work in hospice & Rebekah was their student who went on to become one of the 3 founding members of #PAHPM! #PAsDoThat #PAsGoBeyond #PalliativeCare

🎶 If you had one song to hear as you were dying… what would it be? 💭
At #AAPA2025, we asked this exact question — and the answers were beautiful, raw, joyful, and moving. We created a 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘆 playlist you can explore, add to, and share.
💬 Drop your 𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗴 in the comments. What would you want to hear?

Heard Suneel Gupta at #AAPA2025 and this stuck.
I don’t want to just work — I want to show up for what fuels me and share that energy.
It’s not applause that fills my tank. It’s the questions, the 𝗽𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲, the real connection. That’s where the 𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗰 🪄 lives. ✨
