I was accepted into the the Pennsylvania State University College of Medicince in 1994. After graduating from Tulane University, I successfully matriculated to Penn State in the Fall of 1995. I completed the academic curriculum in years one and two. I completed a health administration rotation at Hamilton Health Center as Special Assistant to the CEO.
