Summary
Pursuing the Physician Assistant profession I hope to become a well-balanced and compassionate provider one day. Working under a PA has given me some insight as to what the role involves. Being a part of the team at WNY Breast Health has further helped me solidify my decision to pursue a career in this profession. Collaboration is a prominent skill that I have picked up and it plays a major role in the flow of the office as well as getting the best care for our patients. I believe my character has evolved over the years to better prepare me to be a Physician Assistant. I am excited to see what the future holds for me as I embark on this journey.
