Platform Statement
I am applying for the Director-at-Large position to become more informed and involved in the PA professional community. After graduating PA school, my primary goal was to gain experience and comfortability working clinically. Doing so over the last 2 years has been both a challenging and rewarding experience, and I feel grateful every day to be part of a profession that I am very passionate about. I now hope to bring the same passion to the ConnAPA organization, to support and advocate for other PAs in the profession. I have a particular interest in education / educational resources, however am looking forward to contributing to the organization in whatever ways are most helpful, if given the opportunity.
