Summary
I am an aspiring Physician's Assistant who currently works as an Emergency Department Technician at Saratoga Hospital. I graduated with a B.S. from SUNY Cortland, majoring in Exercise Science and minoring in Psychology. I continue to take prerequisite courses at HVCC so I can be more competitive when applying to PA school. I have experience in healthcare, coaching, and leadership positions, as I was the captain of the SUNY Cortland Varsity Swim/Dive Team. I am a notable, hard-working, compassionate person in every environment I am in, and I thrive in a high-stress, fast-paced setting. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and geriatric individuals. I am a great student, a great employee, and an asset to any team I join.
