Welcome to The PA Compass! I’m Andrea — a pre-Physician Assistant student at the University of Houston majoring in Health and minoring in Biology. I created this space to document my journey toward becoming a PA while sharing the experiences, lessons, and moments shaping me along the way.

While healthcare and the PA profession are a huge part of my life, I also wanted this blog to be a creative space — somewhere I can reflect on growth, life transitions, and the realities of navigating this season of life. From clinical experiences and academics to personal reflections and everyday moments, The PA Compass is a collection of the things inspiring, challenging, and grounding me throughout this journey.

I’m especially passionate about health equity, patient advocacy, and compassionate, culturally informed care, and I hope this platform can also serve as a supportive space for other students pursuing careers in healthcare.

Whether you’re here for pre-PA advice, shared experiences, or simply to follow along, I’m so glad you’re here.
