-: I loved my experience at Virginia Tech.
So I actually, I was fortunate enough
to get to play soccer here.
I was recruited by former Head Coach Kelly Cagle.
So I went to a bunch of different schools and did,
you know, my official visits,
but Virginia Tech was just the one for me.
I, as soon as I was here I knew it.
Between the academics and the athletics
it was kinda that perfect fit.
Other schools I had looked at,
it was kind of one or the other, that I liked.
Well they had a lot of resources for me to figure out,
you know, even though you think Virginia Tech
a lot of times still like engineering heavy school.
But they have, you know, I did HNFV,
had a lot of different exposure to
different medical opportunities.
I just think that they afford
the opportunity for learning and growing.
So I think that helped kinda shape me, you know,
I didn't know that I wanted to be a PA
while I was an undergrad.
And I, so and, you know, I did undergrad
and I loved it here so much I actually stayed
an extra year and got a Master's in Health Promotions.
And that was when I kinda figured out
that that was the avenue that I wanted to go,
to be a Physician Assistant.
It was just, I knew I wanted to do
something in medicine and helping people.
And I think Tech helped kinda expose me to those things.
To figure it out.
