I am currently a student at Iowa State University where I study biology in hopes of becoming a Physician Assistant (PA). I also compete as a thrower for the women’s track and field team here at Iowa State, and I am an active member of Salt Co. at Cornerstone Church. Because PA’s can work in a variety of different environments and treat a variety of different patients, I believe that having a balanced lifestyle is crucial to being an excellent PA. My goal for this blog is to highlight the various ways that physician assistants impact the public. I hope you find this blog both informative and interesting.
