What's MY "WHY?"
Â
When I started my journey to PA school, I thought I had it all figured out. I had straight A’s, was a Division 1 athlete, and had a ton of healthcare experience. I honestly believed the path to PA school would be a breeze. Spoiler alert: I was so wrong.
The application process was HARD. I had no idea what I was doing, and I had zero guidance. I was lost trying to figure out CASPA, track my healthcare hours, prep for the GRE, and write a personal statement that actually stood out. There were times I thought about giving up, but I kept pushing through. And when that acceptance letter finally came? It was the happiest moment of my life.
That’s why I’m here today—to be the guide I wish I had. I’ve been in your shoes, feeling overwhelmed and unsure of how to navigate this process. But trust me, you can do this. And I’m here to make sure you get there with confidence.
Through personalized coaching, we’ll uncover your WHY, craft a personal statement that truly represents you, and get you interview-ready so you can walk into those interviews feeling like a rockstar. My goal is to save you the stress and uncertainty I went through, and help you focus on what matters most—getting accepted into the PA school of your dreams.
I truly believe in you. Let’s make it happen, together.

My StoryÂ
I grew up in a small beach town in the Hamptons, then went on to study at Monmouth University, where I played Division 1 lacrosse and earned my degree in Chemistry with a concentration in Biochemistry. I thought I had it all figured out. With strong grades, healthcare hours, extracurriculars, and what I thought was a solid personal statement, I was confident the PA school application process would be a breeze. But I quickly realized—pre-PAs need support!
I needed guidance, and that’s exactly what I aim to provide for you.
Fast forward to 2021: I graduated with Highest Honors from Nova Southeastern University’s PA program, and now, I’m living my dream working in urgent care. I have the work-life balance I always wanted, and I’m enjoying life on "permanent vacation" in sunny Florida.
I’ve been where you are, and I understand the challenges you’re facing. It’s on my heart to help you achieve the same success and peace of mind that I’ve found. Together, we’ll get you where you want to go—confident and ready to tackle the PA school journey.
