Aspiring PA with hands-on patient care experience and empathy.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated and compassionate aspiring Physician Assistant with hands-on patient care experience and a background in sociology. My education has deepened my understanding of the social dynamics that influence healthcare, shaping my approach to patient care with empathy, attentiveness, and a drive to serve others.
Throughout my journey, I have developed strong organizational skills and a hopeful spirit, which I believe are essential in the medical field. I am excited to continue growing through the challenges and rewards of PA school, leveraging my experiences as a Medical Assistant, Patient Care Technician, and Medical Interpreter to provide the best care possible.
