I'm excited to share that I'll be speaking at another pre-PA/pre-health conference. If you're a pre-PA student or know of a pre-PA interested in learning more about the PA profession, please spread the word about this free event!

What was one career highlight that changed for you at the start of COVID? While I was disappointed to miss the 2020 ESPO conference in Marseille due to the pandemic, I'm thrilled to share a recent career highlight. My case report on the efficacy of topical beta-blockers for hemorrhage control in ulcerated infantile hemangioma, co-authored with one of my mentors at UF Health, Dr. Thomas Schrepfer was recently published in Cureus! #tbt #YourPAcan #research #pedsENT #infantilehemangioma #UFHealth

100% hard agree. I am trained clinically as a physician associate and a certified public health professional. I can leave clinical medicine. #forgemypath

Embarking on my new adventure transitioning from a clinical to a non-clinical role has been quite the quest. As a clinician and former epidemiologist, I look forward to using my critical thinking, analytical skills, and deep understanding of healthcare systems in a fresh way. I’m currently exploring opportunities in medical affairs, where I can utilize my experience to build strong relationships and educate my healthcare colleagues, while continuing to make a greater impact in healthcare. These last 9 months have been a journey of self-discovery and learning, and I’m eager to connect with others who have made similar transitions. Are you or someone you know in medical affairs looking for someone with a unique clinical background? I’m eager to connect and explore opportunities! #healthcare #nonclinicalroles #transition

👋 While I was once a nano-social media influencer, I've learned so much about the power of networking/LinkedIn during these past few months. 🌱 I'm turning a new leaf, continuing to expand, and trying to be authentic with my interactions in an inauthentic digital space. 🌟 Now I ask, what can I offer you?

"At the start of the pandemic, experts say we bid adieu with the "awkward" wave in an effort to rebuild social connection. Now, three-plus years later, 55% of us still wave when hopping off Zoom calls. While that is a 2% decline from last year." I have been using virtual calls for over 5 years as a Pre-PA mentor and always end my sessions with a smile and wave. It never occurred to me that this was considered "awkward" and not a standard. What are your thoughts? Where are my Zoom-Wavers at? #communication #virtualmeetings

It's been a whirlwind of an adventure taking a leap of faith to explore my next chapter as a PA. I have met so many great leaders at the recent 11th annual Medical Science Liaison Society Conference and learned so much about the world of medical affairs. After reading Samuel Dyer's "The Medical Science Liaison Career Guide: How to Break Into Your First Role" (a MUST for all aspiring MSLs) and now successfully completing the Medical Science Liaison Society - Breaking Into The MSL Career Certificate Program, I am ready!

Thanks for the encouragement Frankie Aguinot, MD. I'm 1/2 way through Samuel Dyer - MSLS Breaking into the MSL Career Training Program! 🙌
