Future Plans:

"After graduation, I plan to work as a medical assistant while applying to physician assistant (PA) school. In my career, I hope to bridge gaps in access to care, improve health outcomes, and address disparities that affect underserved populations. I am incredibly motivated to use my role as a PA to not only provide clinical care, but also advocate for systemic changes through education to promote healthcare equity. I plan to provide quality care and contribute to sustainable changes through collaborative teamwork with healthcare providers. By addressing medical needs and creating solutions regarding the social factors influencing health outcomes, I can improve the quality of life for diverse communities."
