Caroline is a second-year graduate student at The Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California (USC), obtaining her Masters in Physician Assistant Practice. Caroline explains “limited resources, access, and provider awareness of social issues have all unintentionally resulted in many communities not receiving the healthcare services they need. I seek to combat this with a personal demonstration of provider awareness and care for marginalized communities.” Although not yet licensed, she has already begun to service this population by creating passion projects which consist of local tutoring, an all-women's book club, and organized day-outings with local South LA children. Caroline is also an active, inaugural member of the African Heritage Physician Assistant Student Interest Group (AHPA) at the University of Southern California. As the groups Community Event Organizer, she plans and coordinates panel discussions between African Heritage Physician Assistants (PA) and undergraduate students who desire to become PA’s. These events are created with efforts to bring more awareness to the profession, as well as the minority representation within the industry. In 5 years, her hope is to be a staple within the South LA community by providing her home as a safe space for children in the community. She seeks to create a home where locals come to feel seen, safe, and loved. She wants others to enter her future home and feel relieved that someone genuinely cares for them and the community.
