The beginning... Kind of

So, to make a long story short. I am a wife and mother who decided to go back to school to become a Physician Assistant. My healthcare experience is in Nuclear Medicine, mostly in PET/CT imaging. I have also worked as a Radiographer.

I have thought about going to PA school for many, many years. This desire just never left me, and it actually became stronger because God's timing is simply perfect! I made the decision in late 2012, with the support of my husband, to pursue this goal. I went back to school at the local state college to finish up my premed prerequisites from May 2013 through December 2014, while working full time.

My career in medical imaging has been good to me for over 13 years. It has led me to a new and exciting career path, and a very big life change!

These are some of the lyrics to my favorite song. I played it on the way to school, and really all of the time.

I literally put out someone's fire in the Chemistry lab. My first time ever using a fire extinguisher!

A better day in chemistry:

 
It was really very challenging to balance a full-time job, a family, and challenging science courses. Here I am studying Chem I on my laptop, with my trusty periodic table, while also gearing up for my daughter's 2nd grade year in the Fall of 2013!

Last Chem II Lab, Spring 2014: This is so true. I am not a chemistry lover... but I made it through!
