Sharing a few stories…
Using the practice of Narrative Medicine and storytelling, here you will find posts about working on the margins of medicine, being a clinician in primary care, living as a 20-something year old, and all of my ramblings about life.
The Gold Standard
A weekly newsletter filled with stories about medicine, relationships, things I’m loving, and other good things. It’s my favorite writing I create and the best way to stay in touch. Some people say it’s their favorite thing they’ve ever read, but I’ll let you be the judge of that.

hello there…
Hi, i’m marisa!
I’m a Physician Assistant (PA), writer, storyteller, friend, and regular human being who has a passion for primary care and keeping it real.
Read the Blog
Stories about medicine, relationships, stumbling, growing, and a whole lot of everything else.
This blog first started with the hopes of helping pre-PA and PA students navigate medicine, jobs, and schooling. However, it has slowly morphed into a “lifestyle” blog if you will. It’s a home to writing about all sorts of things, some about medicine, most about life. I’m glad you are here.

I help pre-PA students perfect their personal statements by creating a compelling and articulate essay. I also mentor pre-PA and new grad PAs with important transitional seasons (aka getting into the schools/jobs of your dreams!).
