Students One-on-One
Amanda Danielson
Why did you choose to become a PA?
I love the idea of graduating as a “generalist” and being able to work in a variety of medical fields during my career. After researching many different areas of medicine, I deciding that the PA profession was the right choice for me and went for it!!
In what field(s) of medicine are you interested in working?
Possibly Women’s Health… but lets not be too quick to decide! 
I am keeping an open mind and waiting to see what my rotation experiences bring!
Shh, don’t tell them, but my favorite professor is…
I definitely have more than one!!!.. But I’m going to have to say….. Mrs. Martha Greene!
What’s your favorite medical TV show?
Private Practice! But I am a Grey’s fan too!
The song that best describes my life as a PA student is…
Three Little Birds – Bob Marley… When I’m stressed out there is always that little voice in my head or someone telling me “Don’t worry ’bout a thing, cause every little thing is gonna be alright.” We all have our moments, but we are supportive of each other and pull through! We make it fun!!
Any advice to give prospective students?
-Have BALANCE in your life. You cannot study ALL of the time! Take care of yourself (eat, sleep, exercise and bathe!!) 
-Don’t be afraid to get a tutor (especially for anatomy)… It’s the cool thing to do!!
-Don’t get wrapped up in the stresses of school to enjoy what you are learning.
