Did You Know?: I am an EMT studying to become a physician's assistant. With this degree, I aspire to go into the surgical field in order to tend to injured athletes. Aside from my passion to become an PA, my second home is the outdoors; I love backpacking, camping, and just about anything that that keeps me active outdoors.
