Savannah S.

Following college, Savannah worked as a patient care technician at Sarasota Memorial Hospital, where she received the Technician of Excellence Award for her exceptional work with renal, diabetic, and wound care patients. This experience, combined with her academic achievements, laid a strong foundation for her PA career.

Savannah has been actively mentoring pre-PA students for years, helping them prepare for the application process and PA school life. Her passion for mentorship led her to join Plexus, an association at the University of Southern Florida that pairs undergraduate students with current graduate students. While a PA student, she served on the Plexus Leadership Board as a Module Coordinator, responsible for editing and updating the modules used by mentors. She worked one-on-one with pre-PA students to discuss the specifics of PA school and provide advice on curating competitive applications.

Savannah excels in providing writing assistance for personal statements and essays for both primary and secondary applications. Her interview preparation style includes providing resources, prompts, and conducting mock interviews with detailed feedback. She strives to make students feel comfortable and confident while challenging them to ensure they are thoroughly prepared.

Savannah is excited to work with aspiring PA students, help them navigate the application process, build competitive applications, and ultimately achieve their goal of becoming certified physician assistants. Her approach is characterized by empathy, practical advice, and a genuine desire to see the success of each student. She finds great reward in watching students begin their journey toward a fulfilling PA career.
