About
I am currently back in school after spending 3 years in the operating room as a surgical technologist. My desire to go back started with patient care. As a surgical technologist, I never saw the outcomes of the patient's surgery and I wanted to know how they were doing postoperatively. In 2017, I decided to invest into my education by going back to school to become a physicians assistant. So far, I've received my associates in science (cum laude) and now I am in the process of finishing my bachelors in biology. I plan to use my bachelors degree as an undergrad for the PA program's requirement.
