MEET THE FOUNDER
Meet Sarah, PA-C
Clinician. Advisor. Mentor.Sarah is a practicing physician assistant (PA-C) with more than a decade of clinical experience and a longtime passion for helping future PAs find their way into the profession.
She founded PA Acceptance Lab to offer the kind of admissions guidance she believes applicants deserve: thoughtful, highly individualized, and grounded in a real understanding of the PA profession. Alongside a team of PA advisors with admissions committee experience, Sarah helps applicants look beyond checklists and formulas to build an application strategy around their own experiences, strengths, and goals.
Her approach is personal by design. As a PA, mentor, and mom, Sarah understands that becoming a PA is about more than building a competitive application. It’s a years-long journey shaped by countless academic, professional, and personal decisions—and having the right person in your corner can make those decisions feel a lot clearer.
If Sarah had taken a different path, she jokes that she probably would have been a pre-health advisor. With PA Acceptance Lab, she gets to bring both worlds together.
