"I am a current PA student at Augsburg University as well as the Founder/Host of Vitally Stable: A Pre-Health Podcast. I came to Dalay in a time of need where much of my life was uncertain. I told her that I had this big dream of changing my life goals from business to medicine halfway through my undergrad and one day becoming a leader for pre-health students across the country. It was a big dream, but it was my dream. Without hesitation, she believed in me and supported my journey in any way that she could. As of today, I study at my top PA school, have released 24+ podcast episodes with over 1200 total downloads in 40 states, and run my own Pre-PA mentorship group. Everything I have been able to create would not be possible without her. I am and always will be forever thankful for her."
