Tricia's Story:

Tricia graduated from BHSU in May of 2006 with a biology degree with a psychology minor. She is now attending medical school to pursue a career as a physician’s assistant.  

During her time at BHSU she was put on active duty with the National Guard and spent more than a year in Kuwait. The highlight of her time serving, was the time spent going into schools to work with children. Tricia noted that there was one girl in particular, a 13-year-old, who inspired her.

“Cisse is so beautiful and intelligent. She speaks English fluently and was helping me learn Arabic. Because of what we (American forces) are doing she has a lot more potential in her life. I’m sure she is an inspiration to many others around her.”

Tricia, who has had a long time interest in health care, is certain she has made the right choice for her future. She says she was drawn to the medical field “because my mother raised me right” and because she sees it as an opportunity to “make a difference in the world.”

“I know this is what I want to do. I think that by being involved in health care and working directly with patients, I’ll be able to make a positive difference in their lives,” Tricia says.
