"I chose the PA profession
because of my desire to help people combined with a life-long
fascination with medicine. I've been in the working world for awhile as
a photographer. Now I want to 'make a difference' with what I do."

Advice to future
students: This is HARD work. Don't just take your prerequisite
classes to get in, take them to LEARN for when you do! Take as many as
you can. Pay attention in them. (I wish I'd paid more attention in
physiology.) Also always keep in mind that when you get in, this is no
longer "school." This is the real thing.
