"I chose the PA profession for a lot of different reasons. Mainly because I have become fascinated about the scientific aspect of human existence: our body’s innate ability for survival and our own conscious endeavors to thrive. I have an immense respect for life and what it means to be human. To have and employ the skills, knowledge, and understanding to help preserve life in all its diversity, for me, is a great honor."
