Any true feelings of why you are a physician assistant and why you deserve a patient’s trust to care for them:

I have wanted to be a physician since I was in high school and had several impactful interactions w/my own dermatologist growing up. I love the science and innovation of dermatology, the curiosity required to stay current in the field, the multispecialty approach to patient care, the intelligence and work ethic of my peers, and the interactions I get to have with patients of all ages and stages of life. Patients can trust that I will do my best to care for them, and if I can't meet their expectations or needs, then will find someone who can.
