Hello, my name is Lydia and I graduated from West Virginia University in 2021. I grew up in West Virginia and will always think of this state as home. West Liberty’s PA program fit everything I was looking for, including being in West Virginia, the small class size, and faculty members who push us to succeed. I want to be a PA because I want to work in rural medically underserved areas, and this profession will give me the flexibility to work in many specialties wherever I am needed.
