I served on a medical mission trip in Nicaragua. I also served at a local homeless shelter through the Palmetto Project.

I love hanging out with friends, trying out new restaurants, binge watching tv shows, and going out on the lake during the summer.

Why do you want to be a PA?

I have always had a calling and an interest in health care. I find purpose in helping others.

Why did you choose Presbyterian College PA Program?

I chose Presbyterian College because I liked what the program had to offer and that it was a smaller class size. All of the professors care about each and every one of us and our success. It is a tight knit community.
