When I was a young girl, pencils and paintbrushes were practically extensions of my fingers. I may not have been able to recite the alphabet or count to 26, but with a box of magic markers, I had 1,000 words at my fingertips. My first few years of school consisted of many parent-teacher meetings that revolved around the fact that it seemed impossible to keep me from scribbling sloppy stars and smiley faces on every assignment. That is until one day, I finally found a subject that I was truly interested in, and could also benefit from my hobbies and talents: science. I came to love science because it is fascinating, constantly changing, and most aspects of the subject allowed me to expand my mind further than my imagination. Each advancing

While studying the upper level science courses, I was prompted to think in ways I never had before. I became a tutor, however to my surprise, I found myself teaching the Spanish language to biology students. My ten years of experience studying the language prior to college became a valuable asset not only from an academic standpoint, but it has also allowed me to form relationships with people I would never have met otherwise. College was also the point in my path where I was introduced to the greatest invention ever made, the whiteboard. Courses such as organic chemistry and physics were of the more intimidating on the list of requirements for a biology degree. Fortunately though, despite some brief moments of doubt, I was able to find my motivation and flip, expand, and reduce carbon rings all over the board until a solution was met. Whether it was illustrating metabolic pathways or filming an anatomy dissection tutorial video, learning and teaching through art became a true passion of mine. By shifting among a wide variety of talents, studies, and interests, I believe my versatility is similar to that of a physician assistant’s, who has the ability to transfer their skills and knowledge from one specialty to another. With the perspectives I gained from my studies at the University of North Texas, I feel confident in my ability to come to innovative solutions that both doctors and patient would expect from a reliable physician
