Hi! I'm Kristen. This upcoming year (Aug 2022) I will be starting graduate school at Sacred Heart University. I will be going for my MPAS, which is my Master's in Physician Assistant Studies. I have always been interested in science and medicine, and my first dream job was as a midwife. The more I grew and the more I learned, I see that being a PA is an amazing choice for me. I would love to work in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, but also as I grow, I am finding interest in things such as Orthopedics, Gerontology, and even surgery. I am so excited to go back to school and see what other fields may interest me. Another thing I like to note about myself is that I am a bit of an empath. Sometimes I can just sense how people are feeling or the mood they are in, and I have always been determined to address that. I know that this quality will make me a great Physician Assistant, as I prioritize the patient wellbeing over anything else.
