"That’s when I decided to go back to school to become a Physician Assistant." Rebecca works with patients to diagnose illness, develop and manage treatment plans, prescribe medications and assist with procedures while working collaboratively with physicians and other healthcare providers. "Since my undergraduate degree, I have had a special interest in cardiology," she explains. "I chose Beacon because I was looking for a position in electrophysiology that would allow me to assist in procedures and work in both the inpatient and outpatient setting." When it comes to her philosophy of patient care, Rebecca believes that patience is key. "I try to treat everyone with empathy and respect, as if they were my own family member," she says. She enjoys educating people and hopes that comes across in the way she provides care. "I try to find easier ways to explain something that may have been confusing to them in the past. It’s also important to listen and conduct a thorough patient history and exam." In Her Own Words Who is or was the most influential person/role model in your life? My parents. What was your first job growing up? What do you remember most about it? I was a server, which helped me develop customer service skills. What is your favorite food? Movie? I love any type of Asian food. Star Wars movies are my favorite. What were your best/worst subjects in school growing up? Math was my best subject. Biology was actually my worst until one day it all finally clicked for me. If you could sit down to dinner with anyone (alive or deceased), who would it be and why?

I enjoy spending time with my family, camping and traveling. Do you have pets? Yes, I have two cats. What is something most people don’t know about you?
