About Shelby

I chose to become a healthcare provider because of my deep passion for helping others and making a meaningful difference during some of the most vulnerable moments in their lives. I was drawn to neurosurgery for its complexity and the life-changing impact it can have on patients’ neurological function and overall quality of life. As a neurosurgery physician assistant, I have the privilege of combining advanced medical knowledge with hands-on care, working alongside a specialized team to treat intricate brain and spine conditions. This field inspires me every day through its demands for precision, critical thinking, and compassionate collaboration.

Patients can count on me to provide extraordinary care because I am deeply committed to their well-being, listening attentively to their concerns, and advocating fiercely on their behalf. I combine thorough knowledge, precision, and compassion to ensure every patient receives personalized, high-quality treatment. My dedication to teamwork and continuous learning means I’m always striving to deliver the best outcomes and support patients through every step of their journey.

My little something extra
I was born and raised in the Metairie area. I have been passionate about healthcare all my life. I was thrilled to become a Physician Assistant and be able to care for my community I grew up in.
