I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to present my research poster on Acral Lentiginous Melanoma at the Pennsylvania Society of Physician Associates (PSPA) conference, held in the Poconos this year. I truly enjoyed engaging in meaningful conversations with fellow Physician Assistants and PA students, and I am thankful to have had a platform to help raise awareness about racial disparities in medicine.🩺

I am blessed to share that I will be attending University of Pittsburgh’s Physician Assistant Program this January. It still feels surreal that I am one step closer to becoming a Physician Assistant.

I am grateful for God’s faithfulness throughout this entire journey. This accomplishment has truly been a testimony, and I give Him all the glory for not only bringing me to this stage but allowing me to continue serving others through medicine.

“As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.” I Peter‬ ‭4‬:‭10‬ ‭

I also want to thank my family, friends, mentors and everyone who has supported me along the way. I am excited for the next chapter in this journey.
