“Why Miami?”
“Growing up and working as a certified surgical technologist in a rural community has deeply influenced my decision to become a Physician Assistant at Miami University. The close-knit environment in my home community and in the workplace has ignited my passion to bridge the gap in rural healthcare by serving as a PA. I hope to foster stronger patient connections with my background and ultimately improve health outcomes to the rural setting.”
