Why Fresno?:  Fresno is in the middle of everything and fits great with all of my hobbies and interests.  During PA school I had a rotation in the Central Valley and was off to the beach or hiking or camping every single weekend.  The reputation of UCSF Fresno is outstanding and they had the program I was looking for.  The population that composes a great percentage of the Central Valley is who I most love to work with.  I was so thankful when the opportunity arose to return to this area and continue my education and career with UCSF Fresno while combining my interests and passions.
