"When attempting to go pre-PA at Augie, I had to do a lot of research on my own to understand what was needed for prerequisite courses and other experiences outside of the classroom. I would love to connect with students and make that planning process easier for them. I also feel that I was able to balance school and extracurriculars quite well and could offer advice in that area. I work in a fairly unique setting and am always open to having students shadow to help increase their patient contact hours for PA school."
