Career Goals: My career goal is to become a skilled and respected Pathologists' Assistant who contributes to accurate diagnoses through a thoughtful and comprehensive understanding of pathology. As I grow in the profession, I also hope to mentor future Path A students and help support the next generation of pathology professionals. 

Hobbies and Interests: Outside of school, you'll find me training in mixed martial arts, lifting weights, fishing, or spending time outdoors. I enjoy hobbies that keep me active, help me unwind, and give me the chance to keep learning and growing!

Why Duke: I chose Duke because of its rigorous curriculum and high expectations, which I believe will prepare me to be the best Path A I can be. I was also drawn to the program's outstanding reputation and the faculty, whose expertise and approachability made Duke feel like the right fit. 

Why Durham: I was drawn to Durham because it offers both a vibrant city/campus scene and plenty of opportunities for outdoor recreation with its proximity to the mountains and the coast. Along with its passionate sports culture, Durham offered a familiar sense of community while also giving me room to explore and grow.
