WinnerBio
I am a fourth year physician assistant student in Duquesne University’s five-year entry level Master’s program. I recently graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in Health Science and a Public Health minor in May 2024. Throughout my undergraduate education, I was a four year member of Duquesne’s NCAA Division I women’s track and field team. I continue to be involved with my university and my community serving as a student ambassador for the Department of Physician Assistant Studies, the Dean’s Student Advisory Board, and working at UPMC Mercy on the trauma and burn unit. I am looking forward to starting my clinical rotations in July as I approach my last year of PA school!
I eventually intend to continue my education at the doctoral level, which will allow me to become more involved in clinical education and research.
