Hi! I am Raven, an aspiring Physician Assistant (PA) student starting my studies in August. My life goals are centered around becoming a PA and working in underserved areas where I can promote health literacy and advocate for minority populations. Growing up in a disadvantaged community profoundly shaped my understanding of the healthcare disparities that many face, and it fuels my passion for addressing these inequities. I am moving 12 hours away from home to pursue this important goal, demonstrating my dedication to my future patients and the communities I aim to serve. The financial support I seek would be instrumental in alleviating the costs associated with my PA school essentials and housing, allowing me to focus solely on my education and advocacy efforts. As a candidate, I bring a wealth of experiences and a unique perspective that I believe will enrich my contributions to the PA program and the healthcare field at large. I am committed to empowering underserved populations through culturally sensitive health education, and I aim to be a positive force for change in the pursuit of a more equitable healthcare system.
