Honors and awards
-
Dean's Honor Roll
I have been on the Dean's Honor roll throughout my entire college experience.
-
Outstanding New Member of the Year
This award meant so much to me because I was a nominee with wonderful people in the WSU Greek community. I received this after completing my first year in my sorority.
-
Gamma Xi Scholarship
It was difficult to balance finances when I first arrived in Wichita. My local chapter of Alpha Phi had just started a scholarship program and I was incredibly humbled to be chosen.
Goals and interests
- Career goal
I am currently working in a hospital and as a pharmacy technician while attending classes. Both of my current jobs helped me solidify my choice to practice medicine. The long term goal for my career path is to work as a surgical P.A. specializing in neurosurgery or trauma. I thrive in fast paced environments and both of these specialties will compliment my work ethic.
- Graduate school interests
Next fall I will be applying to Physician's Assistant programs across the U.S. It took me awhile to find the right path for me in medicine, but now that I have I'm truly excited. Graduate school will come with its own set of challenges, but I've never been more ready to take them head on.
- Outside the classroom
Dancing, singing, and entertaining are what I love to do in my spare time. Even helping others to entertain and being behind the scenes is a passion of mine. I have been fortunate enough to help Beta Theta Pi the past several years choreograph a 5-minute lip syncing routine for Songfest; a campus tradition every fall that is a part of a bigger event, Octoberfest. Choreographing is rewarding and an amazing stress reliever.
