About

I am an alumna of the University of Georgia and have hopes of attending graduate school for Physician Assistant. I have always been passionate about working with people in a very personal and relational way, and I believe that, in pursuing PA, I will have the opportunity to improve the physical and mental wellbeing of my future patients. I have explored various avenues of healthcare and even began a graduate program for Occupational Therapy at Augusta University (summer of 2021). Through this experience, I discovered that I ultimately see myself in the field of Physician Assistant and I withdrew to fully pursue this career. Through my shadowing and interning experiences—both with occupational therapists practicing hippotherapy on a farm, as well as with physician assistants treating in a hospital burn unit—I have witnessed the impactful role a healthcare worker can play in a patient's life. I am so excited to continue to work toward earning a Master of Physician Assistant. University of Georgia Alumna | Bachelor's in Human Development & Family Science | Pre-PA Student
