🌟 This week we're featuring Skylar Gorrell, a member of the K-State PA Class of 2028! We're excited to spotlight Skylar and share more about her journey to becoming a future Physician Assistant.

About Me: Hi everyone! My name is Skylar Gorrell, and I'm originally from Las Vegas, Nevada. Before starting PA school, I worked as a Medical Assistant in an orthopedic clinic for 5 years, where I developed a passion for patient care. During my gap years between undergrad and PA school, I stayed active by completing four half marathons and exploring some incredible national parks with my family. A few of my favorites were Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks.

Education: I graduated from Baker University in 2023 with a Bachelor's degree in Exercise Science and a minor in Psychology. While at Baker, I had the opportunity to play collegiate softball for five years. One of the highlights of my college experience was studying abroad in London for two months and traveling throughout Ireland and Scotland on the side.

After PA school: I'm keeping an open mind about future specialties, but I have a strong interest in Emergency Medicine and Orthopedics

Fun Fact: During my senior year at Baker, our softball team made it all the way to the Women's College World Series!
