What activities and organizations were you involved in as an undergraduate?

I played baseball and golf in college. I also served on the Elmira College Student Athletic Advisory Committee and was a member of TriBeta.

What did you do after you graduated?

I was a Medical Scribe in the Emergency Department at St. Joseph’s Health Hospital.

What are some of your hobbies or interests?

I like to golf, play basketball, and watch sports. I am an avid fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers, St. Louis Cardinals, and Syracuse basketball. I also spend a lot of time with my dog Chester who enjoys walks.

Why do you want to be a PA?

I believe the PA and patient relationship is genuine. I decided the PA profession was the best path for me so I could help people and build those relationships along the way.

Why did you choose Presbyterian College PA Program?

I chose Presbyterian College because the campus reminds me of my undergraduate experience. Presbyterian College invited me with open arms and I can say the same with the PA Program as all the professors want me to succeed. Adjusting to the south has been much easier knowing I have so many resources I can go to within the PA Program.
