Paige, Class of 2023,Class Legislative Representative

Meet Paige, PAS-1

Paige is from the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago and studied Molecular and Cellular Biology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She then worked in healthcare for two years before starting PA school.

Prior to PA school, she worked as a CNA in a long-term care facility, as a rehab aide at a Chiropractic/PT office, and as a medical assistant in Dermatology.

Paige chose Rush because of the small, tight-knit class of 32 students as well as the diverse community that Rush serves. As an added bonus, she loves being in Chicago near her support system of family and friends.

Her favorite part of PA school so far has been getting to know her classmates and faculty on a personal level! Clinically, her interests include Primary Care, Hematology/Oncology, Cardiology, and Dermatology, but that is continuously changing with new experiences!
