Her desire to make a positive change is also reflected by work at Michigan State University. As an elected representative of the student government, she spearheaded legislative efforts to help underprivileged students pay for college. As a Physician Assistant, she is passionate about community outreach, and she contributes to health care in a similar manner. She has conducted community volunteer orientations that emphasized compassion, professionalism, and quality inpatient care. She values spiritual, as well as mental and physical health, and enjoys yoga in her spare time. Developing rapport, good communication, thoughtfulness, and treating patients like loved ones has led her to establish long, trusting relationships with her patients and colleagues. Her motto is that “Life is too short to not do what you love"; she has truly chosen a career that she is passionate about. With motivation, enthusiasm, and a desire for success, she enjoys working with fellow health care providers and collaborates with them to make positive changes in the lives of her patients. |
