Ellen T.

Prior to PA school, Ellen earned her Bachelor of Science degree in biology from the University of Florida, where she graduated summa cum laude. She was a medical assistant to attain her patient care experience. She is a first generation college student and blazed her own trail to PA school. This challenging experience has inspired her to give back. At her practice, she is the founder and provider liaison for the MA Internship Program for Pre-Health Professionals to help her medical and surgical assistants achieve their career goals in medicine. 

Ellen attended her dream PA school at the University of Florida, where she graduated with a 4.0 GPA. She was inducted into the Pi Alpha (PA) national honors society and was awarded “Outstanding Academic Student” and “The Award of Academic and Clinical Excellence in Physician Assistant Studies.”  During her didactic year, she was the Disability Resource Notetaker for her classmates with learning disabilities. During her clinical year, she was a tutor for the didactic UF PA students while completing due to her academic success. 

Beyond that, she has experience as a guest group interviewer at the University of Florida School of PA Studies. Her husband is the Senior Director of Human Resources at a large company, so she knows a thing or two about interview preparation.

Ellen knows what it takes to be successful in PA school, but beyond that, she knows what kind of applicants schools are looking for. She takes a down-to-earth, genuine approach to coaching and is very passionate about focusing on what makes her students unique and stand out. She truly cares about her students and takes pride in organizing, preparing, and mentoring them every step of the way.
