Goals that you have either personally, professionally or both
Personally, I want to explore the world more through travel so that I can experience all it has to offer. I would also like to build a healthy balance between work and life.
Professionally, I aim to expand my knowledge in ENT and be the best I can be for my patients. Once I am well established in the ENT specialty, I hope to continue growing my procedural skillset.
Most influential mentor you've worked with
The most influential mentor I’ve worked with was a family medicine doctor whom I worked for prior to starting PA school. She taught me a lot about medicine, and she showed me what it’s like to truly advocate for what is best for your patients.
