Alumni Spotlight

Destini Quinones knew back in high school that she wanted to be a physician assistant. When she heard in 2014 that ¶¶ÒõPro was launching its first cohort in Physician Assistant (PA) studies, she enrolled in a Biology program, sharing her dream with her professors and receiving support in return. After earning licensure as a certified nursing assistant (CNA), she worked to earn enough patient care hours to receive her PA degree from ¶¶ÒõPro. Now she is equipped to combat our shortage of healthcare professionals!
